 Eusebius offers an example of an elderly Christian who managed to hold off death until his grandson placed a portion of the Eucharist in his mouth.In a general audience October 24, 2007, Pope Benedict XVI quoted Paulinus's account of the death of St. Ambrose, who received and swallowed the "corpus Domini" and immediately "gave up his spirit, taking the good Viaticum with him.His soul, thus refreshed by the virtue of that food, now enjoys the company of Angels."
