Book IV

Of the Sacrament of the Altar

A devout exhortation to the Holy Communion.

The Voice of Christ.

Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will refresh you,152 saith the Lord. The bread that I will give is My flesh which I give for the life of the world.153 Take, eat: this is My Body, which is given for you; this do in remembrance of Me.154 He that eateth My flesh and drinketh My blood dwelleth in Me and I in him. The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.155
