Daily Eucharist Quote – St. Thomas Aquinas

“Some have said that Christ during the supper gave His body and blood to His disciples, but did not partake of it Himself. But this seems improbable. Because Christ Himself was the first to fulfill what He required others to observe: hence He willed first to be baptized when imposing Baptism upon others: as we read in Acts 1:1: ‘Jesus began to do and to teach.’ Hence He first of all took His own body and blood, and afterwards gave it to be taken by the disciples.”
