 * [Fr. Alexander Schmemann] "But Christ did not come to us so that we may set apart a small segment of our life for our “religious obligations”. He claimed the whole of man and totality of this life. And he left with us the Sacrament of Communion with Himself so that it may sanctify and purify our whole existence and relate all aspects of our life to Him. A Christian is thus one who lives between: between  the coming of Christ in the flesh and His return in glory to judge the quick and the dead; between the Eucharist and the Eucharist - the Sacrament of remembrance and the Sacrament of hope and anticipation.”
 * [Fr. Alexander Schmemann] "I propose we turn our attention to the Sacrament of the Eucharist and to the Church, whose very life flows from that Sacrament ... it is not reform, adjustments and modernization that are needed so much as a return to that vision and experience that from the beginning constituted the very life of the Church."

 * [St. John of Kronstadt] "The Divine Liturgy is truly a heavenly service on earth, in which God Himself, in a particular, immediate and most close manner is present and dwells with men, for He Himself is the invisible celebrant of the service; He is both the Offerer and the Offering. There is on earth nothing higher, greater, more holy, than the liturgy; nothing more solemn, nothing more life-giving.”
 * [St. Philoxenos of Mabbug] "That is why we confess that we receive “the living body of the living God,” and not the ordinary body of a mortal human being, as well as “the living blood,” which grants life through all the holy sips we receive and not the ordinary blood of one corruptible human being among us. Indeed, that is what is preached by the heretics. And He did not call His body sanctified bread nor His holy blood mere wine, made great by a blessing; rather, He spoke about each of them truthfully: that they were His body and blood. “Jesus took the bread,” it says, “and blessed it, broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, ‘Take and eat – this is My own body, broken for you for the forgiveness of sins.’ He also took the cup, gave thanks over it and said, ‘Take, drink from this, all of you. This is My blood, which for you will be shed for the forgiveness of sins.’” He called the bread the body and the wine the blood, not those of some other person but His own."

 * [St. Gregory of Nyssa] “What then is this remedy? Nothing other than that glorious body which showed itself stronger than death and has become the source of life for us. Just as a little leaven, according to the Apostle’s words, is mixed with all the dough, so the body that was raised by God to immortality, once it is introduced into our body, wholly changes it and transforms it into his own substance…”
 * [St. Irenaeus] "The cup likewise, which is part of that creation to which we belong, He confessed to be His Blood, and taught the new oblation of the New Covenant; which the Church receiving from the apostles, offers to God throughout all the world"
-* St. Jacob of Serugh] "The Lord Whom the seraphs fear to look at, the Same you behold in bread and wine on the altar. The lightning clothed hosts are burned if they see Him in His brilliance. Yet the contemptible dust partakes of Him with confidence."
