"Remembrance" in Luther's Eucharistic Writings (I)

Bread and wine are eaten and drunk for the forgiveness of sins; that is, because Christ ordained them to be eaten and drunk in order to keep his remembrance, it is proper to call this an eating and drinking of the forgiveness of sins, since in connection with it we should remember that forgiveness and do as he says afterward, "Do this in remembrance of me."

(This Is My Body, LW 37:44-45)
