The Communion and Communicant

The tract explains the biblical basis and proper understanding of the Lord’s Supper, drawing on New Testament passages and St. Paul’s admonitions to clarify its authority and meaning. It presents the rite as both a memorial of Christ’s death and a means of spiritual nourishment and fellowship among believers, with bread and wine signifying sacrifice and covenant. The author examines the danger of partaking unworthily, urges self-examination and preparation, and counsels obedience to Christ’s command rather than fearful abstention. Practical pastoral guidance encourages approaching the sacrament with reverent gratitude, informed faith, and continual remembrance.
