The Body and Blood of Christ

18 September 2023

Therefore with the fullest assurance let us partake as of the Body and Blood of Christ: for in the figure of Bread is given to you His Body, and in the Figure of Wine His Blood; that you, by partaking of the body and blood of Christ, might be made of the same body and the same blood with Him. For thus we come to bear Christ in us, because His Body and Blood are diffused through our members; thus it is that, according to the blessed Peter, “we become partakers of the divine nature.” [2 Peter 1:4].
