“This Body hath he given to us both to hold and to eat; a thing appropriate to intense love. For those whom we kiss vehemently, we ofttimes even bite with our teeth. Wherefore also Job, indicating the love of his servants towards him, said, that they ofttimes out of their great affection towards him, said ‘O, that we were filled with his flesh!’ Even so Christ hath given to us to be filled with his Flesh, drawing us on to greater love.” — St. John Chrysostom
