(Late post) SAINTS AND THE EUCHARIST: September 3 - Saint Gregory the Great, Pope and Doctor of the Church “This Sacrifice alone has the power of saving the soul from eternal death, for it presents to us mystically the death of the only-begotten Son. Though He is now risen from the dead and dies no more, and ‘death has no more power over him’ (Rom 6:9), yet, living in Himself immortal and incorruptible, He is again immolated for us in the mystery of the holy Sacrifice. Where His Body is eaten, there His Flesh is distributed among the people for their salvation. His Blood no longer stains the hands of the godless, but flows into the hearts of His faithful followers. See, then how august the Sacrifice that is offered to us, ever reproducing in itself the passion of the only- begotten Son for the remission of our sins.” – Dialogues , Bk. 4, 58.
