On Holy Communion
When
the most sacred body of Christ is received and eaten in a proper manner, it
becomes a weapon against those who war against us, it returns to God those who
had left Him, it strengthens the weak, it causes the healthy to be glad, it
heals sicknesses, and it preserves health. Through it we become meek and more
willing to accept correction, more longsuffering in our pains, more fervent in
our love, more detailed in our knowledge, more willing to do obedience, and
keener in the workings of the charismata of the Spirit. But all the opposite
happens to those who do not receive Communion in a proper manner.
Gregory the Theologian
