We have seen that Cyril makes the consecration of
sacramental elements in every case consist in the Invocation of the
Holy Ghost, after which the water of Baptism is no longer mere simple water Cat. iii. § 3., the
ointment no longer plain ointment Mystag. iii.
§ 3., the bread and
the wine no longer plain bread and wine, but the Body and Blood of
Christ Mystag. iii.

bread and wine is said to follow “the Invocation of the Holy and
Adorable Trinity.”.
