Holy Eucharist Teachings by the Fathers of the Church Fathers of the Church - Theodore of Mopsuestia (cd. 428 A.D.)
"At first [the offering] is laid upon the altar as mere bread, and wine mixed with water; but by the coming of the Holy Spirit it is transformed into the Body and the Blood, and thus it is changed into the power of a spiritual and immortal nourishment." (Catechetical Homilies 16)
