This is My Body. This is My Blood.
"My soul, stop here and go no further.
Believe as simply, as forcibly as your Savior
has spoken, with a submission
that corresponds to His authority and power.
Once again, He wants to see in your faith the same
simplicity with which He has spoken these words.
In the ancient rite of Communion, the priest said,
"The body of Jesus," and the
faithful responded, "Amen," or "so it is," and
"The blood of Jesus Christ," and the
faithful responded, "Amen," or "so it is."
All has been accomplished. All has been said.
All has been explained.
I am silent. I believe. I adore."
Bishop Jacques-Benigne Bossuet (+1704)
