The Most Holy Eucharist
"Let the whole world tremble, and all of mankind shake when the Son of God, is present on the Altar in the hands of
the priest...
O'Sublime humility! O'Humble sublimity, that God should so humble Himself to take the form of bread. Humble your hearts before Him." -S. Fran.
Fr. David Mary Explains our Catholic Understanding
of the Eucharist
Fr. David Mary Uses Scripture to teach about the Eucharist
Holy Eucharist
By which Christ associates His Church and all her members with the sacrifice of the Cross.
The Fruits of the sacrament are:
-An increase in the communicant's union with Christ.
-Forgiveness of venial sins.
-Preservation from grave sins.
-A Strengthening of the bonds of charity between communicant and Christ.
-A strengthening of the unity of the Church as the Mystical Body of Christ.
Scriptural Foundations for the Church's Teaching on the Eucharist
The Gospel of Saint John Chapter 6
The Gospel of Saint Matthew Chapter 26 verse 26
Saint Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians Chapter 11 verses 23-31
​
-Take a little time each day to read and slowly reflect upon these Scripture passages. As you do, consider the actual words Jesus uses, the reaction of the crowd/people, as well as the strength by which the Lord and Saint Paul confirms and reconfirms the teaching of the true presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist.
