Communion And Judgement


Καὶ μεταμεληθήσῃ ἐπ' ἐσχάτων ἡνίκα ἂν κατατριβῶσιν σάρκες σώματός σου.

Διὰ τῶν κακιῶν οἱ πονηροὶ κατατρίβουσι τὰς σάρκας τοῦ Χριστοῦ, καὶ τὸ αἱμα καταναλίσκουσι, κοινὸν αὐτὸ ἡγησάμενοι· Ὁ τρώγων γάρ μου, φησὶ, τὴν σάρκα, καὶ πίνων μου τὸ αἷμα, ἔχει ζωὴν αἰώνιον, κἀγὼ ἀναστήσω αὐτὸν ἐν ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ· ὁ δὲ ἀναξίως ἐσθίων τὸ σῶμα καὶ πίνων τὸ αἵμὰ τοῦ Κυρίου, κρίμα ἕαυτῷ ἐσθίει καὶ πίνει.


Ὠριγένης, Ἐκλογαὶ Εἰς Παροιμίας, Κεφ' Ε'


Source: Migne PG 13 173b-c
And at the end of your life you will groan when your flesh and body are consumed. 1

On account of evils the wicked waste the flesh of the Lord, and squander the blood, accounting it but a common thing.'For he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood, he has life eternal, and I shall raise him up on the last day.' 2 'But he who unworthily eats the body and drinks the blood of the Lord, judgement he gives on himself who eats and drinks.' 3


Origen, On Proverbs, Chap 5

1 Prov 5.11
2 Jn 6.54
3 1 Cor 11.29
