By E.B. Pusey and Edward Bouverie Pusey

Book Overview

The Holy Eucharist a Comfort to the Penitent is a sermon delivered by Edward Bouverie Pusey before the University in the Cathedral Church of Christ in Oxford on the Fourth Sunday after Easter. The sermon focuses on the significance of the Holy Eucharist as a source of comfort for those who seek penitence. Pusey argues that the Eucharist offers a means of forgiveness and reconciliation with God, and that it is a powerful symbol of Christ's love and sacrifice. He emphasizes the importance of approaching the Eucharist with a humble and contrite heart, and encourages his listeners to seek solace in this sacred ritual. The sermon is a powerful testament to the enduring significance of the Eucharist in Christian theology and practice, and offers readers a compelling vision of the transformative power of faith.1843. The Sermon, based on the passage Matt. XXVI. 28, This is My Blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many, for the remission of sins, begins: It is part of the manifold wisdom of God, that His gifts, in nature and in grace, minister to distinct, and, as it often seems, unconnected ends; manifesting thereby the more His own Unity, as the secret cause and power of all things, putting Itself forward in varied forms and divers manners, yet Itself the one Cause of all that is.
