To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
(c) God in His boundless love of us desires not only to be worshipped, but to be in close contact with us, and for this reason He chose bread and wine to be the matter of this Sacrament. They are the most generally used articles of food, and so are especially adapted to be the matter of the Sacrament, that is the food of our souls. They serve also to remind us of our Lord's sufferings, for the bread represents His body, given for us, and the wine His Blood, shed for our sake. 320 We have seen t...hat this Sacrament is called Holy Communion, because it unites together all who participate in it, and bread and wine both symbolize this union, for bread is one substance made up of many single grains of corn, and wine is prepared from many single grapes. The bread and the wine help us to some extent to realize how bread can become our Lord's Body and wine His Blood. Our daily food becomes our flesh and blood through the action of the natural forces of the body; and if these can effect such a transformation, why should not God's almighty word suffice to make bread cease to be bread, and become the Body of Christ ?
