Preparation for Holy Communion

Receiving Communion isn’t a right but a gift. It involves preparation, thought, repentance, confession, and so on. We should receive as often as possible, but in a state of preparation!

I have to work Saturday nights and get home late. This recording allows me to listen to the prayers on my drive home so I can get to bed and get to church on time. Thank you!

[@CHRISTisKing197]

This is amazing. To those who understand the secret of the eucharist it takes true courage to recieve the bread of Christ knowing how punishing it can be without proper preparation. It is a blessing to have found this.

This is amazing! We listen to it on the car ride to church

This is really great!!! Thank You

Sin is a dark reality that in essence is a distortion of reality. The Church has had to navigate the sinfulness of its members and can help us to mature in our faith, knowing that only one is holy one, one is Lord Jesus Christ to the glory of God the Father. Amen

It is a right that has been restored

[@hz3917]

What do you mean?

[@prayunceasingly2029]

Theotokos is the salvation of the Christian race? I don't understand that

[@OrthodoxExperience]

Through her obedience, the conception of God in the flesh was made possible and mankind’s salvation was set to begin, all through her faith.

[@prayunceasingly2029]

​@OrthodoxExperience
Thanks for the explanation! The language seems confusing but glad to understand more fully what it means.

[@MJS2376]

Thank you for asking instead of reacting. ☦️

[@mary-jodukas7627]

Through her Salvation ( Christ) came into the world. She is the mother of all true Christians and through her prayers for us we receive grace, mercy and salvation.

Why so rushed?

[@OrthodoxExperience]

This really is not that fast. Slow down the speed on you playback if you must.
