The Necessity of Frequent Communion

A short recording meant to emphasize how vital receiving Holy Communion is for Orthodox Christians. St. Nicodemus, the great 18th century ascetic of the Holy Mountain, draws upon Scripture, the Fathers, and the Canons of the Church to persuade us that in order to have life in Christ, true life, we must receive the Eucharist, and often. Otherwise, we give openings to the devil and eventually may fall from the Church. Fr. Michael Pomazansky was a priest in Russia and the United States and professor at Holy Trinity Seminary in New York. In Orthodox Dogmatic Theology, he explains the “The Necessity and Saving Nature of Communion of the Holy Mysteries” by drawing on Christ’s teaching in John 6 and adding emphasis and commentary. This book was used as a textbook at the Seminary and was first translated into English by Fr. Seraphim Rose. “Verily, Verily, I say unto you, except ye eat the Flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His Blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth My Flesh, and drinketh My Blood, hath eternal life” (John 6:53-54). If you are listening to this and have not recently received the Precious Body and Blood of Christ, make a plan to go to Confession and then receive Holy Communion. This is medicine of immortality. This is our proper worship and saving grace of Christ. On Holy Communion, the Purifying Treasure by St. Nicodemus: http://orthodoxinfo.com/praxis
