365. What, therefore, makes the bread and the wine a sacrament of the body and blood of Christ?

God's own Word which is added to the bread and the wine; for as Luther says, "Bread and wine alone are but bread and wine; but being united with the Word of God, they aretruly the body and blood of Christ. For as the mouth of Christ speaks, so it is; He can neither lie nor deceive."
