ACC ~ 1 Corinthians 11 v27

PROFANING THE BODY AND BLOOD OF THE LORD. CHRYSOSTOM: Why so? It is because someone who profanes the supper is like a priest who pours the blood out, making the death appear to be a slaughter and not a sacrifice. It is like those who pierced Jesus on the cross.They did not do it in order to drink his blood but in order to shed it. The person who comes to the supper unworthily does much the same thing and gains nothing by it. HOMILIES ON THE EPISTLES OF PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS 27.6.

RECEIVING UNWORTHILY. AUGUSTINE: What does it mean to receive unworthily? To receive in mockery, to receive in contempt. SERMON 227.
