Unworthy Of Communion

Post quae Judas proditor indicatur, sine quo pascha accepto calice et fracto pane conficitur: dignus enim aeternorum sacramentorum communione non fuerat. Nam discessisse statim hinc intelligitur, quod cum turbis reversus ostenditur. Neque sane bibere cum Domino poterat, qui non erat bibiturus in regno: cum universos, tunc bibentes ex vitis istius fructu, bibituros secum postea polliceretur. Hymnoque ducto, in montem reversi sunt. Consummatis scilicet universis divinorum mysteriorum virtutibus, gaudio et exsultione communi in coelestem gloriam efferuntur. Sanctus Hilarius Pictaviensis, In Evangelium Matthaei Commentarius, Cap XXX Source: Migne PL 9  1065b-c

After which Judas is shown as the traitor, without whom the Passover is completed with the receiving of the cup and the breaking of bread; indeed he was not worthy to partake of the communion of the eternal sacraments. For it is understood that he had immediately left because he was to return with a mob. Certainly he was not able to drink with the Lord because he was not going to drink the cup in the kingdom. The Lord promised that all who were then drinking from the fruit of the vine would drink with Him thereafter. 'When they had sung a hymn they returned to the mount' 2 that is, once everything was fulfilled by the power of the Divine mysteries, they went out joyfully, rejoicing together in heavenly glory. Saint Hilary of Poitiers, from the Commentary On The Gospel of Saint Matthew, Chapter 30 1 Mt 26.30
