In Mystag. v. § 20, Cyril informs us that during the Administration the words, “O taste and see that the Lord is good,” were sung:  and in reference to that passage he adds, “In tasting we are bidden to taste not bread and wine, but the antitypical Body and Blood of Christ.”  To taste “the antitypical Body” is therefore to taste “that the Lord is good,” whence it clearly follows that “the antitypical Body” is not the mere sign or figure of Christ’s own natural Body, but the sacramental and spiritual counterpart of it, by which those who faithfully receive it are so united to Him, that their spirit, and soul, and body, are to be preserved entire without blame at His coming 1 Thess. v. 23, quoted at the end of Mystag. v. § 23..
