Holy Eucharist Teachings by the Fathers of the Church
Fathers of the Church - St Jerome (c. 347 - 420 A.D.)
"The flesh and blood of Christ is understood in two ways; there is either the spiritual and divine way, by which He Himself said: "My flesh is truly food, and my blood is truly drink"; and "Unless you shall have eaten my flesh and drunk my blood you shall not have eternal life." Or else there is the flesh and blood which was crucified and which was poured out by the soldier's lance." (Commentaries on Ephesians 1:1:7)
