For Christ took His immaculate
flesh from the immaculate flesh of Mary, and if He had prepared
a place in heaven for the Apostles, how much more for His
mother; if Enoch had been translated and Elijah had gone to
heaven, how much more Mary, who like the moon in the midst of
the stars shines forth and excels among the prophets and
Apostles?
--Bishop
Theoteknos of Livias (c. 550- 650)
"Amen, amen, I say to you,
unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his
blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my flesh
and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on
the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true
drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me
and I in him."
John 6:53-56
