By the revelation of Christ the mind knows that the " substance" has been changed, in the one case into the " substance" of His Body, in the other case into the " substance" of His Blood. Our senses perceive " accidents" of bread and wine; only the mind knows the " substance" of His Body and Blood. See the related terms Nature and Essence.
