SERMON 228B: ABOUT THE SACRAMENTS ON EASTER DAY |
Date: uncertain†1 |
The sacrament of our time is the body and blood of the priest himself |
Recognize in the bread what hung on the cross; in the cup what flowed from his side |
By the eucharist we are changed into the body of Christ |
You are beginning to receive what you have begun to be, provided you do not receive unworthily |
You receive worthily, if you keep the leaven of charity |
