How to receive Holy Communion?
In order to get an answer to the question of how to receive Holy Communion for the first time, the following is required:
- There must be an awareness that a sinful act has been committed, there must be a sincere sincere repentance in one's own affairs.
- The presence of the desire to forever leave the perfect sin, not repeating it ever more in life, must be the presence of faith in God and the hope that he can give kindness to the mercy he performs.
- We need a strong belief that secret confession is characterized by the presence of the power of purification and withdrawal through the use of holy prayer and a sincere confession of sins.
Preparing for the sacrament
Immediately before the beginning of the communion, at least three days, you must observe a certain post. Throughout the whole week it is recommended to read the Akathists to the Angel of the Guardian, the Theotokos, the Lord, if desired, you can also read Nicholas the Wonderworker and the rest of the saints. On the eve before the communion, it is necessary to go to the evening service, and also to read the prayers before the beginning of the holy sacrament for communion.
The prayers must include three canons (the Angel of the Guardian, the Mother of God and the Penitential Savior), and one should also read the prayer for the dream to come, and the rule for communion. It's all necessary to read without fail. On the day of the Communion itself, it is recommended not to drink anything and not eat until midnight. Since the morning, you need to come to the temple and during the start of the Liturgy reverently approach the holy Chalice Recollecting. After the Liturgy was completed, we need to thank God and go out into the world to start doing good deeds. This action will clear and remove the accumulated cargo from the soul.
