Bread That Is Broken Quotes

“What can make receiving Communion a sacrilege is not that one somehow harms the utterly holy God by receiving him into a stained soul. The glorified Christ cannot be sullied. That a particular Communion becomes a sacrilege is due to the fact that it is a grave lie to approach the sacrament of unity with God and each other while one clings to sin. Sin is in its essence division, a breaking of the bond of love that binds us to God and to each other. Thus we understand that we cannot receive Communion if we are not willing to be reconciled with God and each other.”
― Wilfrid Stinissen, Bread That Is Broken
