About this episode

Fr. Mark-Mary discusses the mystery of the Eucharist and transubstantiation while praying a decade of the Rosary.

How does transubstantiation happen, and what do we receive when we receive the Eucharist? Fr. Mark-Mary shares some catechesis on the Eucharist, drawing from St. Cyril of Jerusalem, who is sometimes referred to as the doctor of catechesis. Today’s focus is the mystery of the Institution of the Eucharist and we will be praying one decade of the Rosary. For the complete prayer plan, visit https://ascensionpress.com/riy .
