And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” (Luke 22:19)

I wonder if there is a "function" of unusual concreteness for the
act recommended in the sentence above... The order was really to eat the Body
and drink the Blood! We enter, then, into the spiritual tangibility.
Let me explain what I mean:
From what we can grasp with our senses, it turns out that our
"DNA" is trapped within a vicious circle, where the death we know
plays a pivotal role, from the scene of a tiny atom being encased by a molecule
to the scenario of pieces of meat, leaves and fruits, etc., being swallowed by
humans as food. Thus, our DNA is maintained and "procreate" by
assimilation of products from other beings' death, all summed up in that
Lavoisier maxim - "Nothing is lost, nothing is created, everything is
transformed." – within this pool of elements we know.
If we believe that Jesus is the incarnation of God's word - a phenomenon of
greatness unknown to us - there is something palpable in our belief that is no
longer just philosophical conjecture. Thus, the fact that the "Word"
is capable of transforming the altar bread into the Body of Christ becomes
banal in comparison to the magnitude of the incarnation of the Divine Word.
The Sacramental bread could be, then, the Element of Life introduced into
the vicious circle (mentioned above) with the exact function of
"contaminating" that pool of death with Life. That is, as we eat this
resurrected Bread, it breaks the vicious circle, preparing our matter for
another stage (note that this "pool" is the same since time is time...
goes for what we understand it as "past" and "future" as
well).
Does it sound fabulous, a witchcraft thing? If we think like that,
everything we experience is also strange… Can you see something weirder than a
child being formed, growing up, becoming an adult, and then, this adult gets
old? Does this really exist or is it a side effect of death? This old person
you see in the mirror has something in common with that baby you were,
doesn't it? Huh?
