Wisdom from Pope Benedict XVI

 
 
 

Jesus, as a sign of his presence, chose bread and wine. With each one of the two signs he gives himself completely, not only in part. The Risen One is not divided. He is a person who, through signs, comes near to us and unites himself to us.

—Pope Benedict XVI

from the book, Heart of the Christian Life
