Mysteries of the Holy Communion

Holy Communion provides the victory. The Coptic Church puts its best by describing this reality, “Communion gives a person immunity against sin. Material food gives him health and immunity against bacteria and viruses that attack him. Likewise, partaking of the Holy Body and Blood of Christ gives the spirit immunity and inaccessibility against the viruses of sins, Satanic warfare and bodily lusts, so the person lives in victory in his spiritual struggle. The Psalmist says, “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.” (Psalm 23:5). This verse was a prophecy about the table of Communion and its benefits for victory against our enemies.
