Truth of the Spirit with Patti Brunner shares “Finding the Scripture in the Eucharist’. She points out some Old Testament characters and various passages from the Bible that have found their way into the Eucharistic Celebration of the Mass.
Join Patti Brunner and Truth of the Spirit to explore Basics of Faith with the Basics of the Real Presence in the Eucharist. The Real Presence of the risen Christ in the Eucharist is beyond our understanding. It is an inexhaustible mystery. Yet the infallible teaching authority of the Catholic Church has proclaimed it for nearly 2000 years because God reveals his truth to us in ways that we can understand through the gift of faith and the grace of the Holy Spirit dwelling in us. Jesus Christ is present body, soul and divinity in the Eucharist under the appearances of bread and wine. The doctrine of the Real Presence is found in the sixth chapter of John’s gospel where Jesus, himself, teaches about the Eucharist and about faith. We are not the only ones who need faith to accept the truth about the Real Presence; even Jesus’ own disciples needed it.
Join Patti Brunner for Truth of the Spirit and completion of the series “The Eucharist and Other Sacraments” to find the connection of the power signs from God called Sacraments. The Eucharist is “the source and summit of the Christian life.” “The other sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it.”
