Let us then return from [the Communion table] like lions breathing fire, having become terrible to the devil….This blood causes the image of our King to be fresh within us. It produces beauty unspeakable and prevents the nobleness of our souls from wasting away….The blood [of Christ] is the salvation of our souls. By it the soul is washed, is beautiful, and is inflamed! This blood causes our understanding to be more bright than fire and our soul more beaming than gold. This blood was poured forth and opened heaven.

Yes, yes, yes! Our family read and loved this, too! It's like we're a whole pack of Aslans returning from the table!
Amen.
Thank you! This reminded me of part of our baptismal liturgy that the pastor prays...
"So hear now, thou miserable devil, adjured by the name of the eternal God and of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and depart trembling and groaning, conquered together with thy hatred, so that thou shall have nothing to do with this servant of God..."
Yay! As my ma says, "Go get 'em, tiger!"
