Your desire for God is also educated

Imelda, Gerard, and other young saints intensely desired to receive Communion when the discipline of their time still prevented it. Their stories celebrate that desire, but they also show waiting, preparation, and a life oriented toward the encounter. A spiritual desire can be genuine and, at the same time, need education. Impatience wants to skip steps; mature love learns, asks questions, and prepares itself to receive well what it awaits. This applies to sacraments, vocation, and important decisions. Do not extinguish the desire, but do not turn it into an immediate right either. Let it grow with formation, patience, and fidelity in what is yours to do today.
