Ambrose of Milan, on 1Cor 11:26

“For as often as you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come.”

“Therefore, whenever you receive, what does the Apostle say to you? Whenever we receive, we proclaim the death of the Lord. If we proclaim his death, we proclaim the forgiveness of sins. Whenever his blood is poured out, it is poured out for the forgiveness of sins; I must always receive it, so that my sins are always forgiven. As I always sin, I must always have the medicine.”
