He
could not have commanded anything more beneficial, for this Sacrament
is the fruit of the tree of life. Anyone who receives this Sacrament
with the devotion of sincere faith will never taste death. It is a
tree of life for those who grasp it, and blessed is he who holds it
fast. The man who feeds on Me shall live on account of Me.
