Holy Eucharist Teachings by the Fathers of the Church
Fathers of the Church - St Iraneus
"If the body be not saved, then, in fact, neither did the Lord redeem us with His Blood; and neither is the cup of the Eucharist the partaking of His Blood nor is the bread which we break the partaking of His Body… He has declared the cup, a part of creation, to be His own Blood, from which He causes our blood to flow; and the bread, a part of creation, He has established as His own Body, from which He gives increase to our bodies."
