212. In that sense the Lord's body or flesh is the good of love, and bread is the same. The Lord's blood is the good of faith, and wine is the same. Eating is making one's own and being linked. The angels who attend upon a person taking the sacrament of the Lord's Supper understand these words in this way only, for they perceive everything in a spiritual way. As a result the holiness of love and the holiness of faith then flow in from the attendant angels, so through heaven from the Lord; this brings about linking.
