“And let all take care that no unbaptized person tastes of the Eucharist nor a mouse or other animal and that none of it at all fall and be lost. For it is the Body of Christ to be eaten by them that believe and not to be lightly thought of.”

                                                                        -St. Hippolytus (3^rd C.) 

For Reflection: 

Name at least three ways this quote shows the consistent teaching of the Church regarding the Eucharist. Does my demeanor toward the Eucharist reflect that I do not think of it lightly? In what one way can I improve my attitude?
