The Real Presence

The Eucharist is the real presence of Jesus Christ. There are many people and heresies that attack this statement, because they do not believe the real presence of Jesus Christ. The early Church fathers stated firmly that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist. The Church teaches, "The doctrine of the Real Presence asserts that in the Holy Eucharist, Jesus is literally and wholly present—body and blood, soul and divinity—under the appearances of bread and wine." I truly believe the Eucharist is Christ's real presence and so has the Church after it was instituted. If you feel like you want to read more about this topic, go to: "The Real Presence". This is a good website to learn more about the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
