Holy Communion, How & When: St. John Chrysostom (Paperback) - by Archim. Vassilios Bakoyiannis
On coming near to communion, we say to ourselves: "Behold, I approach the Divine Communion. O Creator, let me not be burnt by communicating: For Thou art Fire, consuming the unworthy. But, rather, purify me of all impuritiy."Our book deals with this "holy" issue with Saint John Chrysostom as our guide. May his words help us so that our participation in Holy Communion shall be for "the remission of sins and eternal life." Amen.
