IMPLICATIONS OF STAYING AWAY FROM THE HOLY COMMUNION.

From the earlier post(Understanding The Holy Eucharist.), we saw that the Holy Communion which we receive in the Mass is truly and wholly the body and blood of Jesus Christ, our saviour. So many are yet to believe this. Of course it is a mystery and therefore you can't comprehend it. Do well to understand the little arithmetic you do in the classroom before you bother to comprehend God's greatness and mysterious nature.

Christ is love and life. We draw life therefore from him directly through the Holy Communion - Fountain of life.
Imagine closing your nose, with your mouth close  
Are you not already gasping for air?   Are you not panting already?
The suicide you commit to your soul begins with this like step when stay away from the body of Christ. You choose to leave Christ who's your source  of life; close him from entering your soul for days, weeks, months and even years? Do you expect your soul to live? Your spirit will die of course.
And when you have a dead spirit:
1. You become vulnerable to any form of mortal sin. Venial sins are already routine programs on your daily plans.

2. You become a cheap prey to Lucifer. Satan torments you easily and you become almost hopeless.

3. You become the most unhappy human being on earth. You begin to hate yourself. Anger becomes your companion.

4. You will even become ashamed to face righteousness. You, who are supposed to be a light set on a hill for all to see now becomes darkness itself.

Staying away from Christ in his Body and Blood (Eucharist) bring calamities not limited to the ones mentioned above.
Out of his great love for man, he has given his Church everything. The Sacrament of penance is there, so that we might love him as he has loved us.
Christ is love indeed!!

THE HISTORY OF THE BROWN SCAPULAR. Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel.

The Scapular devotion dates from the time of the prophet Elias  (Third  Book  of  Kings).  The  people  were  then  adoring Baal  (the  devil).  To  bring  the  people  back  to  God,  Elias prayed for a drought, which the people would understand as a sign of Divine displeasure. After  it  did  not  rain  for  three  and  a  half  years,  Elias  went up to Mount Carmel (in Palestine) and asked God to send rain.  After  praying  for  a  time,  he  sent  his  companion  to  see  if rain  was  coming.
