Do you believe that any battle you face, be it in the courtroom, with co-workers, or over the boardroom table, is won by your skill, knowledge and power? Or do you believe that the battle is won by the Lord? You “know” the “right” answer; the question is do you believe it?

(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons ) The judgment of one’s state of grace obviously belongs only to the person involved, since it is a question of examining one’s conscience.   However, in cases of outward conduct which is seriously, clearly and steadfastly contrary to the moral norm, the Church, in her pastoral concern for the good order of the community and out of respect for the sacrament, cannot fail to feel directly involved.   The Code of Canon Law refers to this situation of a manifest lack of proper moral disposition when it states that those who “obstinately persist in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to Eucharistic Communion".

What A Priceless and Undeserved Gift!

(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons ) The effects of Holy Communion are: spiritual nourishment of the soul (an increase in sanctifying grace, of the virtues and gifts of the Holy Spirit); intimate union of the soul with Christ and with His mystical body through grace and charity; a diminishing or mitigating of sensual passions; a glorious resurrection of the body; the remission of venial sins; the remission in some part or in great part of the temporal punishment due to sin; and spiritual sweetness and delights.  Father Winfrid Herbst, S.D.S
