Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

The very foundations of our faith give way under the processes which empty the Lord's Supper of its divine glory. The Sacramental Presence is the necessary sequel, the crowning glory, of the Incarnation and Atonement; and the illumination of the Holy Spirit in the word which enables the eye of faith to see God in the body, and redemption in the blood, enables it to see the body in the bread and the blood in the cup. -- C. P. Krauth, *Conservative Reformation* p. 650
