You do not think that you have been fasting for a week and you’re already worthy of Communion. The preparation does not consist in that we do not miss a single service, we do not touch the spoon to the oil and we refrain from food. Internal cleansing is necessary. Not to have pride, vanity, disobedience, and the bad thoughts not to linger in the soul, not even for a moment.
Elder Vitaly (Sidorenko)
