Harvest Thanksgiving: a healthy soul - Page 3

Index

SUMMARY

1. Among other things, our bodies need sunshine, fresh air, exercise and a good diet.

2. Our soul is our real self and when our body dies, our soul goes on living.  Just as bodies can be healthy or unhealthy, so too can souls.

3. A really healthy and well-grown soul is like Our Lord’s, pure and clean and true, generous and good-tempered and kind; a strong and upright soul with nothing weak about it. 

4. Prayer is the soul’s chief exercise and when we pray we walk with God in the sunshine and fresh air of his holy Presence. 

5. The Blessed Sacrament is the Food of our souls, that Food which is Jesus himself.  So we must always prepare for Communion very carefully and receive Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament frequently throughout our lives.
