Luther and Lewis

Wherewith shall you awaken your faith? Wherewith shall you stir yourself to give thanks? Will you wait until prayer breaks in upon you or till the devil makes a place for it? That will never happen. You must stir yourself by this Sacrament [of the Altar] and hold fast to it. Here is the fire that can kindle the heart. You must remember your need and thirst, and hear and believe the good that your Saviour has wrought for you! And your heart will be renewed and your thoughts changed.—Martin Luther, Exhortation to the Sacrament, 1530

When Christians say the Christ-life is in them, they do not mean simply something mental or moral... They mean that Christ is actually operating through them; that the whole mass of Christians are the physical organism through which Christ acts.—C. S. Lewis, Business of Heaven, p. 270.
