Those who confess beginning on Friday, April 26 and any time during Holy Week may partake of Divine Communion during any of the Holy Week & Bright Week Divine Liturgies if they have read their pre-Communion rule. Please plan to come to Confession early in Holy Week so that your Confession will not be rushed due to long lines of others waiting for Confession. ONCE YOU HAVE CONFESSED YOU SHOULD NOT CONFESS AGAIN UNLESS YOU FALL INTO A VERY, VERY, VERY SERIOUS SIN. In other words, if you come for a second confession during this time please have a police report to present to the priest explaining your sin. There are MANY who need to confess this week - literally hundreds. Please be merciful to your priests and only confess one time unless there is an extraordinarily serious need to confess a second time.

‘The day of salvation dawns’ from the Table of Life. This is the eighth day, the day of the age to come which is will manifest itself ‘when this corruptible and transient time ceases to be’. The day of the Divine Liturgy is the day of the Kingdom which is “...coming, and now is.” (John 4:23) For in the Liturgy, we live through past events and we give thanks for future events which have already been bestowed upon us: [for] granting us Thy Kingdom that is to come we thank Thee.’

“The Divine Liturgy – A Commentary in the Light of the Fathers” by Hieromonk Gregorios
Quotations from St. John of Damascus, St. Gregory of Nyssa
