From Today's Lenten Catechesis...

Therefore, the Sacrament is given as a daily pasture and sustenance, that faith may refresh and strengthen itself so that it will not fall back in such a battle, but become ever stronger and stronger. The new life must be guided so that it continually increases and progresses. Treasury, p. 127

Yes, Virginia, there IS progress in the new life as it "increases and progresses" - and the Sacrament of the Altar is a precious sustenance for that new life.

Will, we both know whoever said that simply was not really a good Lutheran, since we Lutherans know we can never talk this way, right.
