This is RCT number 63, the matter of the Eucharist. We are in the Roman Catechism of Trent,

0:07.2

pages 230 to 236. This is the sacraments, episode 15. God grant you his peace in nominipateripati

0:16.3

and spiti to santi, amen. O heavenly king, comforter, spirit of truth, who are everywhere present, and fillest all

0:23.2

things, treasury of good things, and giver of life, come and dwell in us and cleanse us of all

0:28.7

impurity, and save our souls, O good one, enominy patris, if iti, et Sidi tu santi, amen.

0:36.1

As you know, every sacrament has its matter and form, the catechism

0:40.6

begins. The Eucharist is but one sacrament. But although there are two elements as bread and wine,

0:46.8

but because it signifies a single thing, for as food and drink, which are two different things

1:23.2

are employed only for one purpose, namely, that the vigor of the body may be recruited,

1:28.5

so also it was but natural that there should be an analogy to them in the two different species

1:33.4

of the sacrament, which should signify the spiritual food by which souls are supported and refreshed.

1:40.0

Wherefore we have been assured by our Lord the Savior, my flesh is meat indeed and my blood is

1:45.2

drink indeed. John 6.56. And just a reminder, when you receive that little white host, you receive

1:52.1

entirely the full body of Jesus, but you also receive the full blood of Jesus Christ. Again, every time

1:59.8

you receive that little host, you receive 100% the body
