What is the sacrament of the altar? Where is this written? (p. 322)
What is the Sacrament of the Altar?
It is the true body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ under the bread and wine,
instituted by Christ Himself for us Christians to eat and to drink.
Where is this written?
The holy Evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke, and St. Paul write: Our Lord Jesus
Christ, on the night when He was betrayed, took bread, and when He had given
thanks, He broke it and gave it to the disciples and said: “Take, eat; this is My body,
which is given for you. This do in remembrance of Me.” In the same way also He
took the cup after supper, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them,
saying: “Drink of it, all of you; this cup is the new testament in My blood, which is
shed for you for the forgiveness of sins. This do, as often as you drink it, in
remembrance of Me.”

How can bodily eating and drinking do such great things? (p. 335)
How can bodily eating and drinking do such great things?
Certainly not just eating and drinking do these things, but the words written here:
“Given and shed for you for the forgiveness of sins.” These words, along with the
bodily eating and drinking, are the main thing in the Sacrament. Whoever believes
these words has exactly what they say: “forgiveness of sins.”
