Canon 1

About penance for second marriages.
That, according to church rule, those who freely (ἐλευθέρως) and legally entered into a second marriage, and not those who were secretly married, after a short time spent in prayer and fasting, should, by leniency, be granted communion.
Greek original
Περὶ τοῦ δεῖν κατὰ τὸν ἐκκλησιαστικὸν κανόνα, τοὺς ἐλευθέρως καὶ νομίμως συναφθέντας δευτέροις γάμοις, μὴ λαθρογαμίαν ποιήσαντας, ὀλίγου χρόνου παρελθόντος, καὶ σχολάσαντας, ταῖς προσευχαῖς καὶ νηστείαις, κατὰ συγγνώμην ἀποδίδοσθαι αὐτοῖς τὴν κοινωνίαν ὡρίσαμεν.
