What isn't spiritual communion?
Upvote:6
According to the Council of Trent Catechism for Parish Priests,
those who, having it in their power to receive with fitting preparation the Sacrament of the body of the Lord, are yet satisfied with a spiritual Communion only, deprive themselves of the greatest and most heavenly advantages.
The text states that the first grace required to receive the Eucharist (sacramental communion) is "given to none unless they receive in wish and desire" (spiritual communion). Spiritual communion recalls the soul to life, giving the grace required to receive "the fountain of all graces", sacramental communion. The text states that language is inadequate to fully describe the fruits of the Eucharist itself, but gives as examples:
- feeds, invigorates, and delights the soul
- unites the soul with the substance of the sacrament, i.e., Christ
- remits venial sins
- strengthens against temptation by displacing the lusts of the flesh with the love of charity
- in short, facilitates the attainment of eternal life
