Thoughts and Things of Interest from The Bulletin of The Church of Our Lady and St. Peter, Leatherhead, SurreySerious words on receiving Communion unworthily and an interesting study day
Christ has hidden enemies. All those
who live unjust and irreligious lives
are Christ’s enemies, even if they
are signed with his name and are
called Christians. I mean the ones to
whom he is going to say, “I do not
know you,” and they say to him
“Lord, in your name we ate and
drank. In your name, we performed
many deeds of power. What did we
eat and drink in your name?” You
see that they did not value their food
very highly, and yet it was with reference
to it that they said they belonged to Christ.
Christ is the food
that is eaten and drunk. Even
Christ’s enemies eat and drink him.
The faithful know the Lamb without
spot on which they feed, if only they
fed on it in such a way that they are
not liable to punishment! The apostle says,
“Whoever eats and drinks
unworthily, is eating and drinking
judgment upon himself.”
St Cyril of Alexandria 375-444
