V - Defects of the form

 20. Defects on the part of the form may arise if anything is missing from the complete wording required for the act of consecrating.  Now the words of the Consecration, which are the form of this Sacrament, are:

Hoc est enim Corpus meum,

and

Hic est enim calix sanguinis Mei, novi et aeterni testamenti: mysterium fidei: qui pro vobis et pro MULTIS effundetur in remissionem peccatorum.

For this is My body,

and

For this is the chalice of My blood, of the new and eternal testament: the mystery of faith: which shall be shed for you and for MANY unto the remission of sins.

If the priest were to shorten or change the form of the consecration of the Body and the Blood, so that in the change of wording the words did not mean the same thing, he would not be achieving a valid Sacrament.  If, on the other hand, he were to add or take away anything which did not change the meaning, the Sacrament would be valid, but he would be committing a grave sin.
