V. The Sacramental Sacrifice Thanksgiving, Memorial, Presence
1381
“That in this sacrament are the true Body of Christ and his true Blood is
something that ‘cannot be apprehended by the senses,’ says St. Thomas, ‘but only
by faith, which relies on divine authority.’ For this reason, in a commentary
on Luke 22:19 (‘This is my body which is given for you.’), St. Cyril says: ‘Do
not doubt whether this is true, but rather receive the words of the Savior in
faith, for since he is the truth, he cannot lie.'”210
