I would ask you, then, to carefully consider that the Holy Sacrament of the Altar is the only one --- as far as I know --- that comes with a blood curse as well as a blessing.

1 Corinthians 27-22
Therefore whoever eats the bread
or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily
will have to answer
for the body and blood of the Lord.

A person should examine himself,
and so eat the bread and drink the cup.
For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body,
eats and drinks judgment on himself.
That is why many among you are ill and infirm,
and a considerable number are dying.

If we discerned ourselves,
we would not be under judgment;
but since we are judged by the Lord,
we are being disciplined
so that we may not be condemned along with the world.
