SATURDAY – Station 11: The Sacrament of the Altar
Prepare to meditate on the forgiveness of sins that comes to us through the Sacrament of Baptism by saying and meditating on Psalm 119:41.
(say 7x) “Let me live that I may praise you, and may your laws sustain me.” (Ps. 119:175)
Pause at this Station and spend time meditating on the forgiveness of sins that comes through the sacrifice of Jesus and the work of the Holy Spirit through the means of grace.
Say and pray “the Jesus Prayer” and remember the promise of forgiveness that Jesus gives in the Sacrament of the Altar.
“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner (THE sinner).”
Meditate on the following Scriptures:
Matthew 26:26-29
1 Corinthians 11:23-32
If time allows one can use and meditate on Luther’s Meaning to the Sacrament of the Altar in the Small Catechism.
Finally, in preparation to receive the Sacrament of the Altar in the Divine Service on the Lord’s Day, examine yourself by using Martin Luther’s Christian Questions with Their Answers as printed in the Small Catechism.
