July 23 – St. Symeon the New Theologian, Holy Communion

Posted by Deacon Jim on Jul 23, 2008 in Fathers, PNCC |

The inaccessible Word, the bread that comes down from heaven, is not contained sensually, but rather He contains and touches and without commixture is united with the worthy and well prepared to receive Him.

Christ averted that sword and opened the entry and in the whole world planted the tree of life, rather He gave us the power to plant it every day, the tree that grows instantly and brings eternal life to all who eat of it.
