V. The Sacramental Sacrifice Thanksgiving, Memorial, Presence
Be convinced that this is not
what nature has formed, but what the blessing has consecrated. the power of the
blessing prevails over that of nature, because by the blessing nature itself is
changed…. Could not Christ’s word, which can make from nothing what did not
exist, change existing things into what they were not before? It is no less a
feat to give things their original nature than to change their nature.203
