Rediscover the Source and Summit of Our Faith The Eucharist has always been the center of our Catholic faith and the main source for our intimacy with God. Despite it being so vital, many Catholics still struggle to understand the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist and some even reject the teaching altogether. University of Notre Dame theologian Timothy P. O’Malley has seen this confusion in his lecture halls and parish life first-hand. He provides an introduction and analysis to clear up misconceptions and answer common questions about this mysterious, but grace-filled doctrine. Real Presence explores why the real presence has important implications in understanding Jesus Christ and how we as members of Christ's Body can pursue holiness through the healing brought about by the consumption of the Body and Blood of Jesus. Renew your Relationship with Christ through the Eucharist Understand the History Discover the history of Eucharistic doctrine and common points of confusion, including an overly technical interpretation of the doctrine, a lack of Eucharistic reverence, and a false dichotomy presumed between Eucharistic reverence and recognizing the presence of Christ in others. Make it Personal Learn how you can uphold the intimacy of union that is possible in eating and drinking Christ’s Body and Blood. Real presence becomes more real and communion becomes more intimate as we spend time in gratitude before the Redeemer of the world. Refer to the Scripture Explore how Catholic doctrine of Eucharist is closely tied to the Word of God by observing how the New Testament fulfills the promises of the Old Testament and narrates the intimate presence of the God who comes to dwell among his creation. Tie it all Together Make your devotion to the Eucharist practical by following the examples of three medieval figures and three modern visionaries of the Blessed Sacrament to see how reverent devotion transforms the lives in concrete ways.
