Holy Eucharist Teachings by the Fathers of the Church
Fathers of the Church - St Gregory of Nazianz
"The tongue of a priest meditating on the Lord raises the sick. Do, then, the greater thing by celebrating the liturgy, and loose the great mass of my sins when you lay hold of the Sacrifice of the Resurrection. Most Reverend friend, Cease not to pray and plead for me when you draw down the Word by your word, when in an unbloody cutting you cut the Body and Blood of the Lord, using your voice for a sword." (Letter of Gregory to Amphilochius, Bishop of Iconium)
