No hunger, no power

Holy Communion gives you the strength to be perfected, but you have to work at it. That is why the effectiveness of Holy Communion depends on your will, on your longing for fellowship with Jesus Christ. The more you long to be with Christ and become like Him, the more effective Holy Communion will be.

If you are satisfied with yourself, Holy Communion has no effect at all, you can celebrate it ten times - no effect. But if you long for it, if you are struggling to attain salvation, then Holy Communion gives you the strength you need to do so. (CA Shneider, Romania 2025)
