717. It follows from what has now been said that the whole of the Lord's redemption is present in the Holy Supper; for where the Lord wholly is, there too is the whole of His redemption. For He as regards His Human is the Redeemer, and so also redemption itself. No part of the redemption can be missing, where He wholly is. On this account all those who worthily attend Holy Communion become His redeemed. Because redemption means being freed from hell, linked with the Lord and saved (subjects which will be discussed further on in this chapter, and have been more fully discussed in that on redemption), those benefits are assigned to the person. This happens, not to the extent that the Lord wishes, for His Divine love makes Him wish to assign everything, but to the extent that the person receives them. The person who receives them is redeemed to the degree that he receives them. These facts establish that the effects and benefits of the Lord's redemption come to those who worthily approach the Holy Supper.
