LEARN MORE ABOUT THE EUCHARIST

THE EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL- THE EUCHARIST, DID YOU KNOW?

How do we understand Christ’s real presence in the sacrament of the Eucharist? Fr. Kenan B. Osborne explains that “Today, the Church has asked us to understand this Eucharistic presence of Jesus in a richer way than ever before. Jesus is present in the gathering of the community, in the proclamation of the word, and in the banquet of bread and wine. Beyond this we must find the Lord not only in the table of the Eucharist, but in the table of the world around us. If we do not see Jesus in this table of the world, we will really not find Jesus in the table of the Eucharist; and if we do indeed find Jesus in the Table of the Eucharist, we should leave the Eucharistic celebration with eyes of faith that allows us to find Jesus throughout the table of the world.”
