What do you pray after receiving the Eucharist and why? Soul of Christ, sanctify me. Body of Christ, save me. Blood of Christ, inebriate me. Water from the side of Christ, wash me.

Our Good Deeds Follow Us: A Reflection on the Secondary Joy of Heaven
Everyone wants to experience the joy of heaven, but how do our good deeds affect our eternal joy? There are places in the New Testament where we are told that our good deeds follow us to heaven, and presumably increase our joy there. If we can gain a better understanding of this joy, and why […]
