I thought this was interesting...
5) He took flesh from the flesh of Mary . . . and gave us the same flesh to be eaten unto salvation . . . we do sin by not adoring. {Explanations of the Psalms, 98, 9; on p.20}
Mary's flesh was rotton...And so was her blood...Mary's flesh and blood was no different than yours or mine...
Did Jesus' have Mary's blood??? It caused Jesus to age...It couldn't have been eternal blood...
Lol! You just do not get it. Your analogy is very strange to me. But thanks for caring. I do believe in some way you really care. I have to go out. Have a great day. Cheers!

Here’s the entire commentary on Psalm 99 in full. Notice how bad the ellipses are. It’s made to make us think they were referring to adoring the Eucharistic bread and wine. Instead, Augustine is literally referring to Christ’s actual body, which must be received through faith, which he discusses immediately after (in fact, I quoted the part that comes immediately after already). The larger context was his trying to make sense of the line “fall before his footstool,” which Augustine understood as worshipping the Footstool, which represented a problem for him. And thus Augustine renders the Earth God’s footstool, on the basis of another line of scripture which defines it that way, and from Earth Christ’s body was formed (since man is made from the dust of the Earth, and Mary came from Adam, and Christ from Mary). Therefore, Augustine brings it back to Christ’s body as what is praised and should be worshipped. It is the body of Christ that we must “fall before.”
It’s a bit goofy to explain it. You just have to read it for yourself. That’s why the RCC quote is so heavily ellipsed. They didn’t understand most of it, but wanted to trick people into believing that it somehow supported them.
