Frequent Reception of Holy Communion
“I believe in frequent Communion, not casual Communion…”
Metropolitan Kalistos Ware
Metropolis of S.F. Clergy Laity Assembly Address 2008
Let us focus on the on-going miracle which takes place in the Holy Eucharist by preparing to receive the Body & Blood of our Lord God & Savior Jesus Christ. With recognition of this awesome gift, presented to us by God through His Church, our souls should yearn for the experience of Holy Communion each and every week! Honor this great honor by approaching with the fear of God, faith and love, not only in the final moments as your approach the chalice, but in the coming days which lead to the prayers of the Divine Liturgy. Each day of our life should be shepherded by love, faith, and the fear of God, and with this Christian lifestyle we will not only prepare ourselves for the miracle and grace of Holy Communion, but we will shine the Light of God into the world, by manifesting His grace throughout the world and into the hearts of mankind. Through the chalice, may our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ continue to sanctify us and forgive us of our sins.
