The Trinity, Mary, Peter, John, and Dog

Serious words on receiving Communion unworthily and an interesting study day

Christ has hidden enemies. All those 
who live unjust and irreligious lives 
are Christ’s enemies, even if they 
are signed with his name and are 
called Christians. I mean the ones to 
whom he is going to say, “I do not 
know you,” and they say to him 
“Lord, in your name we ate and 
drank. In your name, we performed 
many deeds of power. What did we 
eat and drink in your name?” You 
see that they did not value their food 
very highly, and yet it was with reference
to it that they said they belonged to Christ. 
Christ is the food 
that is eaten and drunk. Even 
Christ’s enemies eat and drink him. 
The faithful know the Lamb without 
spot on which they feed, if only they 
fed on it in such a way that they are 
not liable to punishment! The apostle says
“Whoever eats and drinks 
unworthily, is eating and drinking 
judgment upon himself.”

St Cyril of Alexandria 375-444
