St. John 6.60-69: "Lord to whom can we go? You have the words of eternal life".
Explaining the mystery of the conversion of bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus during the words of consecration by the priest at the Mass a great Church Father said: "The power of the blessing prevails over 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" (St. Ambrose of Milan).
