St. Thomas Aquinas on the effects of the Holy Eucharist:


The principal effects of the Most Holy Eucharist to those who worthily receive it:

*preserves and increases the life of the soul (which is grace) just as natural food sustains and increases the life of the body;


*absolves venial sins and preserves us from mortal sin;

*produces spiritual consolation.

More on the Holy Eucharist from the Association of the Real Presence



Peace be with you!
