«El comulgatorio» is the religious treatise by Baltasar Gracián with introduction and notes by Evaristo Correa Calderón, published by Espasa-Calpe in 1977 in the Clásicos Castellanos collection (201 pages, in Spanish).
A devout work by the Aragonese Jesuit offering meditations to prepare the Christian before receiving communion, accompany him during the act, and help him give thanks afterwards. The book is structured in chapters called meditations and moves away from the sententious moral philosophy of Gracián's other treatises to approach sacred oratory and the language of affections.

Recommended for readers interested in Golden Age spiritual literature and in the religious side of Baltasar Gracián.
