The Church performs her Mysteries in secret away from those that are without; and the Priest celebrates privately within the sanctuary. Only her Children and her sons, the baptised and the signed, does she allow to enjoy communion in these adorable Mysteries which she performs.
-St. Narsai Harp of the Spirit
“As we were baptized, so we profess our belief. As we profess our belief, so also we offer praise. As then baptism has been given us by the Savior, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, so, in accordance with our baptism, we make the confession of the creed, and our doxology in accordance with our creed.”
-St Basil The Great
All of us who desire the kingdom of God are, by the Lord’s decree, under an equal and rigorous necessity of seeking after the grace of Baptism.”
St.Basil The Great
