"...Think of spiritual starvation! Self-imposed, too. One who does not receive the Bread of Life for a long period of time begins to weaken spiritually. He lacks the strength to fight off the temptations that attack him day by day. Didn't Christ warn us? 'Unless you eat the Flesh of the Son of Man and drink His Blood, you will not have life in you.' To remain physically healthy we eat several times a day. Wouldn't we be stronger spiritually if we received Our Lord in Holy Communion more frequently? 'He who eats this Bread shall live forever, ' is our Savior's promise."

This is an extract from a pamphlet written by Bishop John F. Dearden of Pittsburgh (1950-58). It contains many more thoughtful insights and maxims on the topic of "Communion can make me better".
Thanks Scott!
