The consecration at Mass is that moment at which the offering of bread and wine are substantially changed into the Body and Blood of Jesus. Many hold that this takes place when the priest receites the words: "take this all of you and eat THIS IS MY BODY... take this all of you and drink THIS IS MY BLOOD" ... this is debatable, as prior to the speaking of the "ipsissima verba" (cf above) the epiklesis is recited over the chalice (calling down of the Holy Spirit). The church has not defined WHEN the transubstation of the species takes place during Mass.
