**Catechism of the Catholic Church 1395 **By the same charity that it enkindles in us, the Eucharist preserves us from future mortal sins. The more we share the life of Christ and progress in his friendship, the more difficult it is to break away from him by mortal sin. The Eucharist is not ordered to the forgiveness of mortal sins - that is proper to the sacrament of Reconciliation. The Eucharist is properly the sacrament of those who are in full communion with the Church.

To be preserved means to be kept safe from decay or destruction. It means to be prevented from decaying or spoiling and prepared for future use. Is it reasonable to say that mortal sin is extremely difficult, if not nearly impossible if we receive Christ is a state of grace since the Eucharist preserves us from committing them in the future?

The part that I highlighted above is the key to the Eucharist. The Eucharist, in and of itself, will not preserve someone who does not value the true meaning of this Sacrament. The Eucharist is a true encounter with Christ and you must cooperate with that loving encounter in order for it to be efficacious.

Is mortal sin easy to commit?? That all depends on your sharing in the life of Christ and progression in His friendship. It’s as easy as saying, " No Jesus, I don’t think so. Maybe next time."

God Bless…teachccd:)
