A remarkable explanation of the Eucharist in a brief but complete lecture! So very impressive.

[@user-ud9tk4qg6t]

Thank you for making this complex topic accessible for laymen like me, who lack theological training. I am continually in awe of the beauty and depth of our faith: Our Lord's institution of the sacrament of the Eucharist at the pascal meal in anticipation of His Crucification is genius, for lack of a better term.

The Eucharist effects in us what the Passion effected on the world. Wow.

Thank you Father! Regarding to this episode, I always have a question. Since after the resurrection, the Eucharistic body of Christ is his glorified body, while at the last supper when Jesus had not been crucified and resurrected yet, the very own body that he was holding on his hands should be his original body of that moment? And therefore I’m not sure whether they are the same kind of substance from a chronological perspective, precisely speaking, the body and blood at the last supper, and the body and blood after Jesus’s resurrection, a full presence of the risen Christ in a radically unique way.

Jesus died once for all. He commanded his disciples to teach us gentiles his own teachings. Matthew 28 v 19.

[@BaronAna]

I heard a priest say that in the Eucharist we receive the resurrected body of Christ, because it's spiritual and edifying, as opposed to receive a regression, the human flesh that is just meat.

[@HB_IE52829]

Where does God say all that or is it men who make this interpretation?

[@therighteousrighthand]

But why do we need the passion to be present to us today? The Historical moment is ever present in heaven in the Holy of Holies. From there we receive graces.
