Summary/Abstract: When we partake at the communion and the holy mysteries of the Church we become united with Christ and The Holy Ghost, who is the finisher of the Holy Trinity`s work in this world. In the same time, through the sacramental work of the Church, we are united through Christ and the Holy Ghost with the Father, as the Son comes to us in flesh, making one with us through the blessing of the Mysteries of the Church, and again spiritually with God through the work and the grace of His Holy Ghost, making anew the spirit in us through the renewal of our life and making us to „be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust” (II Peter 1:4). Thus having Christ present in the center of our life, our moral life will trigger a true spiritual transfiguration of our entire being in the Spirit of Christ the Lord according to the commandment that our Savior gave us „therefore you shall be perfect, just. as your Father in heaven is perfect” (Mathew 5:48).
