Thanks, Mrs. Don-o!

I find the fact that their physical bodies are distressed by what ought to be ‘flesh’ in a manner that is outside of the control of their will, somewhat noteworthy for the symbolism it entails.

To: James C. Bennett

The totality of the real presence

In order to forestall at the very outset, the unworthy notion, that in the Eucharist we receive merely the Body and merely the Blood of Christ but not Christ in His entirety, the Council of Trent defined the Real Presence to be such as to include with Christ’s Body and His Soul and Divinity as well. A strictly logical conclusion from the words of promise: “he that eateth me the same also shall live by me”, this Totality of Presence was also the constant property of tradition,

His whole Humanity also, and, by virtue of the hypostatic union, His Divinity, i.e. Christ whole and entire, must be present. Hence Christ is present in the sacrament with His Flesh and Blood, Body and Soul, Humanity and Divinity.

GOD loves you. Accept HIS love and follow HIM.
