Matthew 16:8And Jesus knowing it, said: Why do you think within yourselves, O ye of little faith, for that you have no bread?

John 6:64It is the spirit that quickeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. The flesh profiteth nothing...

For if Christ's flesh had profitedus nothing, he would never have taken flesh for us, nor died in us nothing, he would never have taken flesh for us, nor died in the flesh for us. Are spirit and life... By proposing to you a heavenly sacrament, in which you shall receive, in a wonderful manner, spirit, grace, and life, in its very fountain.
