…when we choose to exercise an act of agape (unselfish love), we bring the real presence of Christ to the people we love. We become tubes into which Christ comes and through which Christ moves and out of which Christ acts on other people. We are like priests who consecrate the Eucharist in that we help to bring about a real supernatural change, a real presence of Christ. It’s not Transubstantiation, but it is a real presence. We become real instrumental causes of His real presence, like Mary at the Annunciation.”
–Peter Kreeft, Practical Theology: Spiritual Direction from Saint Thomas Aquinas
