3. “Food Like none other”  The Most Blessed Sacrament, St. Justin the Martyr

“And this food is called among us Εὐχαριστία [the Eucharist] ... For not as common bread and common drink do we receive these; but in like manner as Jesus Christ our Savior, having been made flesh by the Word of God, had both flesh and blood for our salvation, so likewise have we been taught that the food which is blessed by the prayer of His word, and from which our blood and flesh by transmutation are nourished, is the flesh and blood of that Jesus who was made flesh.”

4. Please pray for peace in Ukraine.

3. “Pokrm ako žiaden iný” Najsvätejšia Sviatosť Oltárna, sv. Justin, mučeník

„Tento pokrm sa nazýva u nás Eucharistia. ... Lebo neprijímame tento pokrm, ako obyčajný chlieb a nápoj. Ale tak ako sa Slovom Božím Ježiš Kristus náš Spasiteľ vtelil, prijal telo a krv pre našu spásu, tak posvätený pokrm Slovom jeho modlitby a určený k tomu, aby živil naše telo a našu krv, aby nás pretvoril, tento pokrm je, my to vieme – telo a krv Vteleného Ježiša. “

4. Prosíme, modlite sa za mier na Ukrajine.
