Sasse Gem

And everywhere a congregation is gathered about her altar in the deep faith in the one who is her Lord and her Head because He is her Redeemer, where she sings the Kyrie and the Gloria and lifts her heart to heaven and with all angels and archangels and the entire company of heaven sings, "Holy, holy, holy" to the Triune God - there will her church be a true house of God, a place of the real presence of Christ in the midst of a boistrous and unholy world. And this text will apply to her: "The LORD is in his temple! Let all the world be silent before Him!" [Hab. 2:20] - Sasse, *The Holy Supper and the Future of the Church*
