Question #89
of An Orthodox Catechism
Question
Who are to come unto the Table of the Lord?
Answer
They only, who are truly sorrowful they have offended God by their Sins, and yet trust that those Sins are pardoned them for Christ’s sake; and what other Infirmities they have, that those are covered by his Passion and Death; who also desire more and more to go forward in Faith and Integrity of life: but Hypocrites, and them which do not truly repent, do eat1 and drink Damnation to themselves.
