Annotatio III §.II: Chrysostom samples — immolated Lord handled; teeth fixed in His flesh (Hom. Matt. / Cor. / John)
Chrysostom (Eastern Fathers’ most eloquent): in the Eucharist you behold the immolated Lord — seated with the Father yet handled, seen, touched, eaten; blood from His side stains the tongue (Hom. Matt. / 1 Cor.).
Again: He knits us into one mass with Himself; teeth are fixed in His flesh so that by the food given we are turned into His flesh (Hom. 45 on John).
Latin
Inter Græcorum Patrum dicta eminent ista CHRYSOSTOMI, Orientalium Patrum disertissimi: Conspicies ait, in sacra Eucharistia Dominum immolatum. Qui cum Patre sursum sedet in illo ipso temporis articulo, omnium manibus pertractatur. Ipsum vides, ipsum tangis, ipsum comedis. Neque enim Angelos neque Archangelos, sed ipsum horum omnium Dominum Tibi ostendo. In mysteriis sanguis ex Christi latere hauritur; hoc admirabili sanguine lingua cruentatur. Hom. 5. & 83. in Matth. Hom. 24. in 1. ad Corinth. Et rursus: Nos in unam secum massam reducit, nec se tantùm videri permittit, sed & tangi & manducari & dentes carni suæ infigi, adeo ut per cibum, quem nobis largitus est, in carnem suam convertamur. Hom. 45. in Johan.
