The Eucharist: A Deeper Knowledge Makes the Mystery Known Jn (6:51-58)

About this episode

This episode discusses the centrality of the Eucharist in the Catholic faith and its significance in the continued presence of Christ.

In the Catholic faith the Eucharist is Central. For others who don't share this faith it can sound like Catholics are misled, because of course to them Christ: His life, death, and resurrection are central. But the Christian faith is not about remembering a person who lived 2,000 years ago. It's about His presence still with us today, allow joining ourselves to be joined to him in body soul and spirit. This is because we are enfleshed spirits, not angels, it's the continued presence of Christ in our humanity that allows us to receive the Holy Spirit.
