What does <b>"unless"</b> mean?<br /><br />The body lives because it receives real food sustenance. Starve the body and it will die.<br /><br />Just as the body needs real sustenance, so does the soul, else it will not bear fruit.<br /> <br />The soul lives by real Divine sustenance, the <b>true presence</b> of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.
