Answer: By this bread is meant the heavenly sustenance of divine perfections. In other words, whoso partakes of this sustenance- that is, whoso acquires the outpouring grace of God, draws illumination from His light, and obtains his portion of the perfections of Christ- will attain everlasting life. What is meant by blood, likewise, is the spirit of life, which consists in divine perfections, heavenly splendours, and eternal grace. For all the parts of the body acquire the substance of life from the circulation of the blood
(21:2)
