5 See the reason why the Saints do so rejoice in the Word and Sacrament,1 because here they meet with their Husband Christ; the Wife desires to be in the presence of her Husband: The Ordinances are the chariot in which Christ rides, the lattice through which he looks forth and shows his smiling face; here Christ displays the banner of love. Can. ⟨p. 355⟩2. 4.
