Somemaysaythattheyfail,notwithstandingthereceptionofthisHoly Sacrament.Iftheyfail,itisbecause theydonotnourishthemselvesoften enoughwiththissupernaturalfood. BetweenoneHolyCommunionandthe next,theyleavetoolongaspace,and, hencetheirsoulsbeingweakened,th,,y areunabletowithstandtheattacksof thedevil.

DailyCommunionisaremedyfor allspiritualills;and,ifperserveredin, itwillenableasoultorisetogreat heightsofholinessandtoreachagreat degreeofglorywithoutmuchtrouble.

Itisthegreatsecretofholiness.Itis thepearlofgreatprice.Iteptheshort andeasyroadtoheaven.

Letusreflectonthegreatgraceof havingJesusalltoourselvesdayafter day.0!Whatatreasure!Itisgood toconversewithJesusintheTabernacle,butwhatisthiscomparedwith havingJesuswithinourownhearts?

WhileinthisworldJesussanctified allthosewhomHemetorwhomHe spoketo,andHegrantedthemalltheir requestseitherofsoulorbody.But Hehadtopasson,andHecouldnot spendmuchtimewithanyoneinparticular.

HisHolyMotherenjoyedHispresenceforthiryyears,andthroughJesus shewassosanctified,thatshenowsurpassesingloryalltheangelsandall thesaintsputtogether.

ItwasonlyafterHisAscensionthat MaryreceivedJesusinHolyCommunion;andalthoughOurLadygainedmuchthroughherassociationwith Jesus,andthroughtheprivilegeofher DivineMaternity;yetitwasduringthe yearsaftertheAscension,whenshewas nourisheddailywiththeBodyand BloodofherSon,thatshewasraised tosuchheightsofholiness,that,inthe vehemenceofhersupernaturallove, hersoulburstitsnaturalbonds,aryl fledinanecstasyoflovetoGod

Herdeathwascausedthroughthe excessiveloveforJesus,butthislove wasincreaseddailythroughtheSacred HeartofJesus,whichshepossessed everydaywithinherownheartinHoly Communion.

IfJesusdidsomuchwhileHewas merelypassingby,asitwasbyaccident,howmuchwillHedowhenHe comesintooursoulsfortheverypurposeofgivingusHisblessings,and distributingHisgraces?

Somepeoplefeeldisheartenedonaccountoftheirdifficulties,andare troubledinmanyways,byvarious doubtsandperplexities.Someare afraidonaccountoftheirpastmistakes,andtheyareindoubtabout abouttheirdutiesandthestateoftheir souls.Othersmayhavelostfervor, andareafraidoflosingtheirpastgraces andtheirspiritofzeal.

Allthesedifficultiesandallthese troublescanbesettledwithJesusHimself,whenHedwellswithinourown heartsafterHolyCommunion.

Benediction.

TheHolySacrificeoftheMassagain givesuswhatiscalledBenediction. JesusistakenfromtheTabernaclein ordertoblessthepeople.DuringHis Life-timeOurLordoftenblessedthose withwhomHespoke.Heblessedthe littlechildrenononeoccasion.He blessedtheApostlesonthedayofItis Ascensionintoheaven.Wereceivethe blessingofJesusatBenedictionofthe BlessedSacrament.Itisthesame JesuswhoblessedtheApostlesandvac, blessedthelittlechildren.Heisnow inHisglorifiedBody,whenHegivesus HisblessingatBenediction.Butthe blessingisasefficaciousasthatgiven whileHewasintheworld.

WearemorefortunatethanMary MagdaleneortheApostles.They:ould onlyspeaktoJesusforashorttime.

AnenthusiasticyoungIrishpriest, hecametoAustraliafifty-fiveyears ago,andduringalltheseyearshe workedzealouslythroughoutthedioceseofBallarat.Tohimandto otherIrishpriestswholabouredwith raredevotionanduntiringzeal,Australiaowesadebtthatcanneverbe repaid.Thefruitfulworkofthese oldpioneerscanbeseeninallparts ofAustraliato-day.

HumouroftheVatican

Anold-timememberofthestaff ofthe"ObservatoreRomano,"FrancescoZannetti,publishedsometime agoabookentitled"IntheVatican City.FivePopesinAnecdotefrom PiusIX.toPiusXI."Inthiswork thePopesofthelast60yearsare characterisedbyanecdotesthatillustratewhatmannerofmenthey were.

"Thatisstrange,"saidthePope, "IamwearingtwoofthemandI can'tgetridofmygout."
