Abiding in Christ

Jesus recommended to us his Body and Blood in bread and wine, elements that are reduced into one out of many constituents. What is meant by eating that food and taking that drink is this: to remain in Christ and have him remaining in us.

-- Sermon on John 26, 11

Prayer. You are my strength, O Lord, so that I may stand firm in this world against all temptation. But if there are many who trouble me, you are my refuge.

-- Commentary on Psalm 70 (1), 5
