On Holy Communion
Brothers,
let us practice stillness, fasting, prayer, and tears; gather together in the
Church; work with our hands; speak about the Holy Fathers; be obedient to the
truth; and listen to the divine Scriptures; so that our minds do not become
barren (and sprout the thorns of evil thoughts). And let us certainly make
ourselves worthy of partaking of the divine and immaculate Mysteries, so that
our soul may be purified from thoughts of unbelief and impurity, and so that
the Lord will dwell within us and deliver us from the evil one.
St. Ephraim the Syrian
