5. “Food Like none other” The Most Blessed Sacrament, St. Justin the Martyr
“And this food is called among us the Eucharist ... For not as common bread and common drink do we receive these; but in like manner as Jesus Christ our Savior, having beenmade esh by the Word of God, had both esh and bloodfor our salvation, so likewise have we been taught that the food which is blessed by the prayer of His word, and fromwhich our blood and esh by transmutation are nourished, is the flesh and blood of that Jesus who was made flesh.”

5. “Pokrm ako žiaden iný” Najsvätejšia Sviatosť Oltárna, sv. Justin, mučeník
„A tento pokrm nazývame 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 pokrm posvätený Slovom jeho modlitby a určený k tomu, aby živil naše telo a našu krv, aby náspretvoril, tento pokrm je, my to vieme, telom a krvouVteleného Ježiša.“
