“‘He that offers the sacrifice of praise glorifies Me, and in this way will I show him My salvation’ (Psalm 49:23). Before the coming of Christ, the flesh and blood of this sacrifice were foreshadowed in the animals slain; in the passion of Christ the types were fulfilled by the true sacrifice; after the ascension of Christ, this sacrifice is commemorated in the sacrament.” — St. Augustine of Hippo
