By faith illuminating reason we know this, that what to sense is bread and wine, and what to natural reason has natural substance, to the light of faith, and to reason judging by faith, is the body and the blood of Jesus Christ.
***************
Under the veil of the most Holy Sacrament, as a vesture hanging between His presence and our sigh, there is the Word Incarnate; and out from that vesture there goes forth the virtue of healing, as it went out from the hem of His garment when the poor woman touched it visibly on earth.
