"This is My Body...."
"How is the change of bread
into the Body of Christ brought about?
It is by means of the Consecration.
With what words is the Consecration accomplished?
With the words of Jesus.
When the moment arrives for working this sacred wonder,
the priest ceases himself to speak;
he speaks in the person of Jesus."
