Then again in the old experience… covenant there was the showbread. But that, since it Jesus chose the time of the Jewish Feast of Passover to belonged to the old covenant, has come to an end. In fulfill what he had announced at Capernaum - giving his the new covenant there are the bread of heaven and the disciples his body and his blood as the true bread of cup of salvation, which sanctify body and soul. For as heaven. When the Lord Jesus commands his disciples to bread corresponds to the body, so the Word is eat his flesh and drink his blood, he invites us to take his appropriate to the soul. So do not think of them as life into the very center of our being. That life which he mere bread and wine.

And if our senses When we receive from the Lord's table, we unite suggests otherwise, let faith confirm you. Do not judge ourselves to Jesus Christ, who makes us sharers in his the issue on the basis of taste, but on the basis of faith body and blood and partakers of his divine life.

Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you O God, who in this wonderful Sacrament eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, have left us a of your Passion, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my grant us, we pray, flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will so to revere the sacred mysteries of your Body and raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, Blood and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh that we may always experience in ourselves and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. the fruits of your redemption. Just as the living Father sent me and I have life Who live and reign with God the Father because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on in the unity of the Holy Spirit, me will have life because of me. This is the bread one God, for ever and ever. that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will (Collect, Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and live forever." Blood of Christ)
