" Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy
"At the Last Supper, on the night begins Chapter 2:
when he was betrayed, our Savior
instituted the Eucharistic sacrifice of
his Body and Blood. This he did in
order to perpetuate the sacrifice of the
Cross throughout the ages until he
should come again, and so to entrust
to his beloved Spouse, the Church, a
memorial of his death and
resurrection: a sacrament of love, a
sign of unity, a bond of charity, a
paschal banquet in which Christ in
consumed, the mind is willed with
grace, and a pledge of future glory is
given to us." [1323, 1398]

"It is truly the one, identical Lord, whom we receive in the
Eucharist, or better, the Lord who receives us and
assumes us into himself. St Augustine expressed this in a
short passage which he perceived as a sort of vision: eat
the bread of the strong; you will not transform me into
yourself, but I will transform you into me. In other words,
when we consume bodily nourishment, it is assimilated by
the body, becoming itself a part of ourselves. But this
bread is of another type. It is greater and higher than we
are. It is not we who assimilate it, but it assimilates us to
itself, so that we become in a certain way “conformed to
Christ”, as Paul says, members of his body, one in him.

We all “eat” the same person, not only the same thing; we
all are in this way taken out of our closed individual
persons and placed inside another, greater one. We all are
assimilated into Christ and so by means of communion
with Christ, united among ourselves, rendered the same,
one sole thing in him, members of one another."

Pope Benedict XVI
