Περιγραφή

These words of our Lord Jesus Christ have been, since the moment they were spoken, a "scandal" and stumbling block, and a point of departure for all who could not see in them "words of eternal life" (Jn. 6:58). The misconceptions and mis-interpretations continue to exist today, as does the need for a patristic and pastoral response. Just such a reply exists in Saint Nikodemos` renowned work, "Concerning Frequent Communion". The pious reader will find therein answers, combed from the entire patristic tradition, to such questions as: How should I approach the Holy Mysteries? What preparation is necessary? How often should I commune? And, what does it mean to be "worthy" of Holy Communion? Based upon and gathered from the teachings of the Holy Fathers of the Church, "Concernring Frequent Communion" provides a much needed, comprehensive and "catholic corrective" to the variety of one-sided approaches so prevelant today.
This, the second volume in the series The Works of Saint Nikodemos the Hagiorite, includes a thorough explanation of the Lord`s Prayer, an apology for frequent communion, answers to objections and clarifications of misconceptions. This edition is further enriched with a brief history of the book`s compilation and two appendices on the Divine Eucharist from otHer works of Saint Nikodemos.
