On the Eucharist:
"That Sacrament which you receive is made what it is by the Word of Christ." - St. Ambrose, On the Mysteries IX.52
"The Lord Jesus Himself proclaims: 'This is My Body.' Before the blessing of the heavenly words another nature is spoken of, after the consecration the Body is signified. He Himself speaks of His Blood. Before the consecration it has another name, after it is called Blood. And you say, Amen, that is, It is true. Let the heart within confess what the mouth utters, let the soul feels what the voice speaks." - St. Ambrose, On the Mysteries IX.54
