Therefore he [St. Augustine] calls the crucified body and shed blood of Christ, when we take it in the sacrament, a blessed sacrifice, through which we are blessed; ascribed, through which we are inscribed in heaven; approved, through which we are judged to be members of Christ; acceptable, as persons displeasing to ourselves but acceptable to God through this sacrifice. -- Blessed Martin Chemnitz, *Examen II:519*
