Episode 103 -- Imitation of Christ IV.6 -- On Preperation for the Holy Eucharist
In chapter 6, Thomas a Kempis prays for the Lord to show him a brief exercise for preparing for Holy Communion. He begs the Lord to show him the right way to dispose his heart before this great moment. Inspired by this chapter, St Philip Neri used to prepare for Communion in this way: "Lord, I am ready, as far as I am concerned, to do all the evil in the world, if you do not help me." Humility and confidence in God's help!
