The Holy Supper was instituted that by means of it there might be
conjunction of the Church with heaven, and thus with the Lord. When
one takes the bread, which is the Body, one is conjoined with the Lord
by the good of love to Him, from Him; and when one takes the wine,
which is the Blood, one is conjoined to the Lord by the good of faith
in Him, from Him.
--_Heavenly Doctrine, nn._ 210, 213
In the Holy Supper the Lord is fully present, both as to His glorified
Humanity, and as to the Divine. And because He is fully present,
therefore the whole of His redemption is; for where the Lord the
Redeemer is, there redemption is. Therefore all who observe the Holy
Communion worthily, become His redeemed, and receives the fruits of
redemption, namely, liberation from hell, union with the Lord, and
salvation.
