THE EUCHARIST

The Eucharist is the source and summit of our Catholic Faith. It binds us as a community, but more importantly it unites us with Christ who promised to remain with us until the end of the age. The Eucharist is proof of Christ’s abiding presence among His people: The Eucharist is truly the Body and Blood of Our Lord. It is not a mere symbol. Due to the miracle of Transubstantiation the bread ceases to be bread and becomes the Body of Our Saviour at the moment the priest says the words of consecration. Whether we believe it or not the Eucharist IS the Body of Christ. Our faith is important; how many graces we can draw from this great sacrament depend on our faith and the reverence we show to the Eucharist.
