When it comes to Holy Communion, there are many different

opinions about how often, when, how and is what spiritual condition we should

receive. This week’s “Ask Father” sermon returns again to topic of Holy

Communion, this time more with a more functional perspective. But if Holy

Communion is left to a Sunday only experience, then instead of life-giving and

life-saving, it can become condemning and a source of death. If we want life

then we will live the entire Orthodox Life of prayer, fasting, reading the Holy

Scriptures and being in a state of constant preparedness for Holy Communion, as

Saint Basil said, every Sunday, and every Wednesday and every other day it is

offered. It will be the center of life.
