“And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is My body.” Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” Matthew 26:26-28 . “Many say now we wish to see His form, His clothes, His sandals, oh? Here you are seeing Him, touching Him, eating Him. Indeed, you do wish to see His clothes, and here He is giving you Himself. This is not only that you see Him, but also touch Him, eat Him, and accept Him inside you.” St John Chrysostom
