Luther, on the Lord's Supper:
You've sinned here. And you've sinned there. When you want to be free from your trouble, then go to the Sacrament. Say, "Although I have sinned, this body has not sinned. This body is without guilt. This body is offered for me, and this blood is shed for me for the remission of sins. This I believe, and as a token of it I will receive the Sacrament." When you do this, your sins are taken away and can cause you no more distress. For who can then do any harm to you?
Sermons, volume 2, published by Baker, page 229, paraphrased
