Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

The foremost fruits of the institution and the foremost profits of a salutary reception [that is, of the Eucharist] are that we be strengthened in the faith, have Christ dwell in us, be fed and sustained for eternal life. -- Johann Gerhard, *A Comprehensive Explanation of Holy Baptism and the Lord's Supper* p. 379
