Saint Augustine"That Bread which you see on the altar, having been sanctified by the word of God is the Body of Christ. That chalice, or rather, what is in that chalice, having been sanctified by the word of God, is the Blood of Christ. Through that bread and wine the Lord Christ willed to commend His Body and Blood, which He poured out for us unto the forgiveness of sins." (Sermons 227)

Saint Augustine"The Lord Jesus wanted those whose eyes were held lest they should recognize him, to recognize Him in the breaking of the bread [Luke 24:16,30-35]. The faithful know what I am saying. They know Christ in the breaking of the bread. For not all bread, but only that which receives the blessing of Christ, becomes Christ's Body." (Sermons 234:2)

Saint Augustine"What you see is the bread and the chalice; that is what your own eyes report to you. But what your faith obliges you to accept is that the Bread is the Body of Christ and the Chalice [wine] The Blood of Christ." (Sermons 272)

Saint Augustine"How this ['And he was carried in his own hands'] should be understood literally of David, we cannot discover; but we can discover how it is meant of Christ. For Christ was carroed in His own hands, when refferring to His own Body, He said: 'This is my Body.' For He carried that Body in His hands." (Psalms 33:1:10)

Saint Augustine"Was not Christ immolated only once in His very Person? In the Sacrament, nevertheless, He is immolated for the people not only on every Easter Solemnity but on every day; and a man would not be lying if, when asked, he were to reply that Christ is being immolated." (Letters 98:9)
