A scientist examines natural phenomenon with great attention and we, with
greater attention, should examine the phenomenons and the actions of the grace
of God. Behold, what one of the great spiritual fathers' witnesses about the
act of Holy Communion. Father John of Kronstadt writes: "I am amazed at the
greatness and the life-giving power of divine Communion. An elderly woman, who
was spitting blood and was so completely exhausted from not being able to eat
anything, began to recover the day that she received Communion from me. A young
girl close to death began to recover, eat, drink and speak after Communion
whereas, before that, she was unconscious, in convulsions and did not eat or
drink anything." O, if every priest, with the attention of a scientist and
with the love of a prayerful man, did observe and follow the actions of the
Grace of Holy Communion similar to Father John!
