Fathers of the Church - St John Chrysostom (c. 344 - 407 A.D.)"Christ is present. The One [Christ] who prepared that [Holy Thursday] table is the very One who now prepares this [altar] table. For it is not a man who makes the Sacrificial Gifts become the Body and Blood of Christ, but He that was crucified for us, Christ Himself. The priest stands there carrying out the action, but the power and the grace is of God, "This is my Body," He says. This statement transforms the gifts." (Homilies on Treachery of Judas 1:6)
