ACC ~ 1 Corinthians 10 v16

WE DO WHAT LOVERS DO. CHRYSOSTOM: Paul called it a cup of blessing, because as we hold it in our hands we exalt him in our hymns, wondering and marveling at his unspeakable gift, blessing him for having poured out this draft so that we might not abide in error, and not only for having poured it out but also for having imparted it to us all. This is what lovers do. When they see those whom they love desiring what belongs to strangers and despising their own, they give what belongs to themselves and so persuade them to turn away from the gifts of those others. HOMILIES ON THE EPISTLES OF PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS 24.3.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED. AUGUSTINE: That chalice, or rather, what the chalice holds, consecrated by the word of God, is the blood of Christ. Through those elements the Lord wished to entrust to us his body and the blood which he poured out for the remission of sins. If you have received worthily, you are what you have received. EASTER SERMON 227.
