Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

For as soon as Christ says: "This is my body," his body is present through the Word and the power of the Holy Spirit. If the Word is not there, it is mere bread; but as soon as the words are added they bring with them that of which they speak. - Martin Luther, *The Sacrament - Against the Fanatics* 1526 AE 36:341
