On Communion

Κοινωνία κέκληται ἡ τῶν θείων μυστηρίων μετάληψις, διὰ τὸ τὴν πρὸς Χριστὸν ἡμῖν χαρίζεσθαι ἒνωσιν, καὶ κοινωνοὺς ἡμᾶς τῆς αὐτοῦ ποιεῖν βασιλείας.
 
Ἅγιος Ἰσίδωρος Του Πηλουσιώτου, Βιβλίον Πρῶτον, Ἐπιστολή ΣΚΗ', Σωραννῳ
Participation in one of the Divine Mysteries has received the name of Communion, that through which we are able to be joined to Christ, making us partakers in his kingdom.

Saint Isidore of Pelusium,  Book 1, Letter 228, to Sorannus
