Refer to lecture 12-13 handout.
St Paul had described the Church as the mystical body of Christ. In the Eucharist, according to St. Augustine, it is always the whole Christ that is contained, both the physical body of Jesus and the mystical body of Christ, that is the Church. The Eucharist exists so that one holy Church may be created. St. Augustine said, that endorsing that it is an ecclessial as well as a sacramental thing, he said, Christian, become what you receive.
The primary agent of the Church is its head, Jesus Christ.
