About This Quote
St. John Vianney, the patron of priests, said “I am convinced that one should tell one’s spiritual director if one has a great desire for Communion, for Our Lord does not come from Heaven every day to stay in a golden ciborium; He comes to find another heaven, the heaven of our soul in which He loves to dwell.” It is important to be honest with your priest about your desire for Communion. It may not be the same desire you had when you entered the seminary or it might be something you have never expressed to anyone before. You should also speak with your spiritual director about this desire because your spiritual director may have some advice to share.
