IS YOUR FAITH IN THE EUCHARIST THIS STRONG?

How St John Maximovitch ate Communion that had been given to a Person with the highly Contagious Disease Rabies (This is to teach us that Holy Communion can never be a cause of infection to others of the corona virus. Rather in the history of the church, many miracles of healing are associated with Holy Communion and many holy people – even some living today – see miraculous heavenly sights upon the altar and visions that are associated with the holy body of Christ)

Vladyka’s (an endearing Russian term for bishop) constant attention to self-mortification had its root in the fear of God, which he possessed in the tradition of the ancient Church and of Holy Russia. The following incident, told by 0. Skopichenko and confirmed by many from Shanghai, well illustrates his daring, unshakable faith in Christ. “Mrs. Menshikova was bitten by a mad dog.
The injections against rabies she either refused to take or took carelessly… And then she came down with this terrible disease. Bishop John found out about it and came to the dying woman. He gave her Holy Communion, but just then she began having one of the fits of this disease; she began to foam at the mouth, and at the same time she spit out the Holy Gifts which she had just received.
The Holy Sacrament cannot be thrown out. So, Vladyka picked up and put in his mouth the Holy Gifts vomited by the sick woman. Those who were with him exclaimed: `Vladyka, what are you doing! Rabies is terribly contagious!’ But Vladyka peacefully answered: `Nothing will happen; these are the Holy Gifts.’ And indeed nothing did happen.”
