heavenly host
Anfitrião celestial


Explanation:
o Host é Deus, que a todos aloja no seu Ser divino. Ver o Oxford "Host: One who lodges or entertains another; landlord of inn." A Hóstia sagrada é a representação corporal do Deus. O resto da frase afirma que 'compartilha da Sua natureza' (ter presente a Última Ceia e a sua representação na Missa).

--------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------

A chave desta questão está no resto da frase. A Hóstia não compartilha a Sua natureza, nem as milícias celestiais. É Cristo (o Filho) quem compartilha a Sua natureza divina, tendo deixado a hóstia e o vinho consagrados como Corpo e Sangue que são comidos e bebidos na Ceia. \"Comei e bebei! Isto é o Meu Corpo e o Meu Sangue, fazei isto em memóris de mim!\" Cristo é o Anfitrião do homem.
