THE HOLY BIBLE Douay-Rheims

Notes on The First Epistle of St. Paul to the Corinthians (Author Bishop Richard Challoner (ed.))

10:17 One bread: or, as it may be rendered, agreeably both to the Latin and Greek, because the bread is one, all we, being many, are one body, who partake of that one bread. For it is by our communicating with Christ, and with one another, in this blessed sacrament, that we are formed into one mystical body; and made, as it were, one bread, compounded of many grains of corn, closely united together.
