The wine is sanctified, but is not consecrated, either by the particle of the sacred host, or by the recital of the Pater noster, as has been shewn by Mabillon, (Museum Ital.) Bossuet, and other authors quoted by Benedict XIV. The wine and water represent the blood and water, which flowed on this day from Christ's body. See Act. Coer. p. 54. Whenever priests say Mass, they receive under both kinds, in compliance with the command of Christ "Drink ye all of this" which words as well as those others, "Do this in commemoration of me" were addressed to the apostles and their successors.
