-  “Whenever I go into the church, if there is time, I make a spiritual communion…  These spiritual communions prepare me for Sacramental Communion. When I approach the Sacrament, I consider whom I am about to receive.  I look first at his greatness and goodness and then at my own littleness and at my sins.  I humble and annihilate myself before the Infinite majesty, and with the liveliest feelings of my heart and with tears and contrition I ask for pardon and say, “Regard not, O Lord, my poverty and imperfections, but look at the wealth of Thy love and mercy which you show to sinners, of whom I am the greatest.” – Venerable Diomira of the Incarnate Word, Capuchin Poor Clare
