y; while the part
consumed means the others.

Reply Obj. 9: Two things can be signified by the chalice: first, the
Passion itself, which is represented in this sacrament, and according
to this, by the part put into the chalice are denoted those who are
still sharers of Christ's sufferings; secondly, the enjoyment of the
Blessed can be signified, which is likewise foreshadowed in this
sacrament; and therefore those whose bodies are already in full
beatitude, are denoted by the part put into the chalice. And it is to
be observed that the part put into the chalice ought not to be given
to the people to supplement the communion, because Christ gave dipped
bread only to Judas the betrayer.

Reply Obj. 10: Wine, by reason of its humidity, is capable of
washing, consequently it is received in order to rinse the mouth
after receiving this sacrament, lest any particles remain: and this
belongs to reverence for the sacrament. Hence (Extra, De Celebratione
missae, chap. Ex parte), it is said: "The priest should always
cleanse his mouth with wine after receiving the entire sacrament of
Eucharist: except when he has to celebrate another mass on the same
day, lest from taking the ablution-wine he be prevented from
celebrating again"; and it is for the same reason that wine is poured
over the fingers with which he had touched the body of Christ.

Reply Obj. 11: The truth ought to be conformable with the figure, in
some respect: namely, because a part of the host consecrated, of
which the priest and ministers or even the people communicate, ought
not to be reserved until the day following. Hence, as is laid down
(De Consecr., dist. ii), Pope Clement I ordered that "as many hosts
are to be offered on the altar as shall suffice for the people;
should any be left over, they are not to be reserved until the
morrow, but let the clergy carefully consume them with fear and
trembling." Nevertheless, since this sacrament is to be received
daily, whereas the Paschal Lamb was not, it is therefore necessary
for other hosts to be reserved for the sick. Hence we read in the
same distinction: "Let the priest always have the Eucharist ready, so
that, when anyone fall sick, he may take Communion to him at once,
lest he die without it."

Reply Obj. 12: Several persons ought to be present at the solemn
celebration of the mass. Hence Pope Soter says (De Consecr., dist.
1): "It has also been ordained, that no priest is to presume to
celebrate solemn
