"Christ calling the
Apostles James and John" ~ Edward Armitage
"And
just as He appeared before the holy Apostles in true
flesh,
so now He has us see Him in the Sacred
Bread. Looking at Him with
the eyes of their flesh, they saw only
His Flesh, but regarding Him
with the eyes of the spirit, they
believed that He was God.
In like manner, as we
see bread and wine with our bodily eyes,
let us see and believe firmly that it is
His Most Holy Body and Blood,
True and Living. For in this way our
Lord is ever present among those
who believe in Him, according to what He
said: "Behold, I am with
you all days even to
the consummation of the world" (Mt. 28,
20).
