Holy Eucharist <strong>and</strong> He is truly present. He lives in our hearts.<br />

to give love to all.<br />

the state <strong>of</strong> grace. He wants us to tell Him <strong>of</strong> our love <strong>for</strong> Him.<br />

5. The more that we tell the Holy Spirit how much we love Him, the<br />

our hearts.<br />
