Restraining our earthly desires

"Lord, may we who receive this sacrament restrain our earthly desires and grow in love for the things of heaven…." Opening Prayer in Mass in Lent.

The Eucharist helps us to restrain our earthly desires:

  • Food
  • Drink
  • Human affections

As we decrease in materiality, we increase in spirituality.
