Immortal food (Julius Firmicus Maternus)

   There is another food that gives health and life, another food that really commends man to God and returns him to God, another food that strengthens the weak, calls back those who stray, lifts the fallen, and gives to the dying signs of eternal immortality.  Seek the bread and the chalice of Christ, so that, having overcome earthly weakness, the substance of man may be fed with immortal food.

--Julius Firmicus Maternus 

(died ca. 348)
