"my Father gives you the true bread"

“I am the bread of life;
whoever comes to me will never hunger,
and whoever believes in me will never thirst.”

By the consecration the transubstantiation of the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ is brought about. Under the consecrated species of bread and wine Christ himself, living and glorious, is present in a true, real, and substantial manner: his Body and his Blood, with his soul and his divinity (cf. Council of Trent: DS 1640; 1651).
-- CCC 1413
