HOLY GOSPEL ACCORDING

To

When we partake of Holy Communion, we receive Power and

we are Enlightened, our horizons widen, and we feel great
Joy.
Each of us experiences something different, analogous to our
disposition and the flame of our soul.
One may feel Joy and rest, another may feel peace, while
others may receive a spirit of devotion or an inexpressible
sympathy towards all things.
Personally, I have often felt tired, but after partaking of Holy
Communion, I felt myself complete Renewed.

granted
Peter
Understanding of Thy Resurrection
by the Tomb Wrappings alone;
whereas Luke and Cleopas Thou
accompanied, conversing;
and as
Thou did so Thou did not reveal
Thyself to them, and Thou was
taunted by them as though Thou
alone were a Stranger in Jerusalem,
not knowing what had happened
therein of late. But since Thou
Ordains all things in conformity with
Thy Creation, Thou explained to
them what the Prophets had uttered
concerning Thee, and in the breaking
of the bread they knew Thee after
their hearts were inflamed by Thy
Knowledge; and when they came
together with the Disciples they
proclaimed openly the Resurrection,
by which have Mercy on us.
