Encountering the Real Presence of Christ - OWEERP

Belief in the real presence of Christ in the sacrament of the Eucharist has always been the heart of our Catholic faith. Participating at Mass and receiving the Lord's Body and Blood in holy Communion is the most important thing we do each week as Catholic Christians. Christ's presence is so great and wondrous that we encounter it in multiple ways. Based on the teachings of the Second Vatican Council, this booklet explores the many presences of Christ as experienced in the liturgy: in the gathered assembly, the minister, the proclaimed Word and, most especially, the Eucharist. This resource also reflects upon Christ's presence in the Body of Christ, the Church, called forth from the liturgy as a sign of his presence in the world.
