fragile did she feel herself that she longed to be united for ever to Divine Strength.
HIST. D'UNE AME. CH, IV
I had taken as my rule of conduct,
to receive most faithfully Holy Communion
as often as my confessor permitted,
without ever asking that it might
be more frequent. I would act differently
now; for I am quite sure that a
soul ought to make known to her director
the attraction that she feels to receive
her God. It is not to remain in a golden
ciborium that He comes down each day
from Heaven, but to find another Heaven,
the Heaven of our soul in which He
takes His delight.
HIST. D'UNE AME, CH. V
What shall I say of my thanksgivings
after Holy Communion? There are
no moments in which I feel less consolation.
And is not this very natural, seeing
that my desire is to receive our Lord's
visit, not for my own satisfaction, but
solely for His pleasure.[**P3—mistake in original?
