Daily Eucharist Quote – St. Hildegard of Bingen

“This sacrament must be offered to Me in three forms.  What?  Bread and wine and water, for the honor of the Trinity.  If any of these three is lacking, the Trinity is not truly worshipped, for the Father is understood by the wine, the Son by the bread, and the Holy Spirit by the water.   Thus one who offers wine without bread or water worships the Father but denies the Son and Holy Spirit; one who gives bread without wine or water holds the Son but casts away the Father and the Holy Spirit; and one who uses water without wine or bread heads the Holy Spirit but refuses the Father and Son.  One who gives wine and bread without water holds the Father and the Son but casts away the Holy Spirit; one who offers wine and water without bread worships the Father and Holy Spirit but denies the Son; and one who uses bread and water without wine heeds the Son and the Holy Spirit but denies the Father.”
