If in our communion we do nothing else than sit down beside Our Lord, feeling that He knows us and loves us, even though we do not say a word and are as dry as a stick, our communions are profitable, and we shall draw from them a real good.
It is as if, when dispirited, dry, and tired, we were to sit down by someone who loves and understands us, without saying a word, and were to rise up refreshed and strengthened by the intercommunion between the two souls.
-- Father Dignam, SJ
