CONCERNING FREQUENT COMMUNION OF THE IMMACULATE MYSTERIES OF CHRIST
by our Righteous God-bearing Father
Nikodemos the Hagiorite

PREFACE BY ARCHIMANDRITE CHRYSOSTOM MAIDONES

Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life;
and I will raise him up at the last day. (Jn. 6:54)

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, Concerning 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.
