As our bodies are strengthened by bread and wine, so are our souls by these tokens of the Body and Blood of Christ. This is the food of our souls; this gives strength to perform our duty, and leads us on to perfection. If therefore we have any regard for the plain command of Christ, if we desire the pardon of our sins, if we wish to strength to believe, to love and to obey God, then we should neglect no opportunity of receiving the Lord's Supper.
If we consider the Lord's Supper as a command of Christ, no [one] can have any pretence to Christian piety, who does not receive it, not once a month, but as often as [we] can.
The Rev. John Wesley, A.M., "The Duty of Constant Communion"
