Church's Views on the Eucharist Part 5 Calvin Continued

Beloved, by eating this bread in faith, we have communion with the real physical body of Christ, and by drinking this wine in faith, we have communion with the real physical blood of Christ. The communion is in proportion to our faith. If a person partakes with no faith, there is no communion. The message of the communion meal is that Jesus' sacrificial death is our spiritual life and nourishment. To the degree that the Holy Spirit uses that message to strengthen our faith in Jesus, to that degree we have a spiritual communion with the total person of Jesus. In this way, the Holy Spirit effects what the Lord's Supper symbolizes for those who believe. Our bodies are nourished through the earthly bread and wine, but our souls are nourished through the heavenly body and blood.
Here is another way to explain what happens at the communion service. The Holy Spirit uses the communion service to strengthen our faith and thus to strengthen our subjective experience of the mystical union with Christ. The mystical union enables us to commune with the humanity of Christ as bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh. Through the miracle and mystery of the incarnation, our communion with the humanity of Christ enables us to commune with the divinity of Christ. Through the mystery of the Trinity, our communion with the divinity of Christ enables us to commune with the Godhead. And the Godhead is the source of all our spiritual life and strength.
