Patrick addresses a heartfelt question about distractions and communion during Mass. He emphasizes that getting distracted is a natural part of being human, and it’s crucial to trust in Jesus despite those distractions. Patrick advises that your worthiness for Communion isn’t diminished by a wandering mind and encourages listeners to stay focused on their intention to connect with God. By offering up those distractions and ignoring doubts, you can maintain your spiritual grace.
