Soul nourished

Holy Communion is nourishment for our souls. God has placed divine life within us and provides us with the nourishment that is necessary for our development, namely through word and sacrament. Jesus is the only one who can truly satisfy our souls, and one of the ways that He does this is by giving us the opportunity to commune with Him through the partaking of His body and blood. This is one of the many reasons why we see Holy Communion as a “meal of thanksgiving.”
