Holy Eucharist Teachings by the Fathers of the Church
Fathers of the Church - Origen (c. 185 - 254 A.D.)
"You are accustomed to take part in the divine mysteries, so you know how, when you have received the Body of the Lord, you reverently exercise every care lest a particle of it fall, and lest anything of the consecrated gift perish....how is it that you think neglecting the word of God a lesser crime than neglecting His Body?" (Homilies on Exodus 13:3)
