Forgotten Truths To Set Faith Afire!

    When my strength begins to fail, it is Holy Communion that will sustain me and give me strength. Indeed, I fear the day on which I would not receive Holy Communion. My soul draws astonishing strength from Holy Communion.  Dairy of St. Maria Faustina Kowalska
