Patristic Quote of the Day

For as the bread from the earth, receiving the invocation of God, is no longer common bread, but Eucharist, consisting of two things, an earthly and a heavenly, so also our bodies, receiving the Eucharist, are no longer corruptible, but having the hope of the resurrection to eternal life. -- St. Irenaeus, Against Heresies 4:18:45
