On the Holy Eucharist

Chapter 12: On the Holy Eucharist "The holy Eucharist is the greatest of all the Sacraments: in which not only is grace most plentifully given unto us, but even the author of grace Himself is received. Two things are necessary as regards this sacrament, that a Christian may live well and die well. First, that he sometimes receive this sacred nourishment, as our Lord saith: "Unless you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, you -shall not have life in you"; Secondly, that he worthily receive this excellent food, for, as the Apostle saith in his Epistle to the Corinthians: "He that eateth and drinketh un worthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord." (1 Epist. xi. 29.) But the question is, how often we ought to receive this food; and again, what preparation is sufficient, that we may worthily, or at least not un worthily, approach to this heavenly banquet." Please remember to pray for all who made these information (meditations, sermons, audio) available to you. Source: "The Art of Dying Well" by St. Robert Bellarmine Translated from the latin by Fr.
