Question

Who, then, receive this sacrament worthily?

Answer

Fasting and bodily preparation are indeed a good outward practise;

But he alone is truly worthy and well prepared, who believes these words: "Given and shed for you, for the remission of sins."

But he who believes not these words is unworthy and unprepared. The words, "for you" require truly believing hearts.
