"But if you say," What, then, shall I do if I cannot feel such distress or experience hunger and thirst for the Sacrament?" Answer,"For those who are of such a mind that they do not realize their condition I know no better counsel than that they put their hand into their shirt to check whether they have flesh and blood....Therefore, if you cannot discern this, at least believe the Scriptures. They will not lie to you, and they know your flesh better than you yourself."
-- Large Catechism V:75-76
