The Catechism makes it very clear that 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. For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself, our Pasch." (CCC 1324) We also know, with faith, that the body, blood, soul and divinity of Christ are TRULY present in the Blessed Sacrament. (CCC 1374) It is ESSENTIAL for us then to continually be working toward deepening our devotion and our understanding of the Eucharist. Our Catholic faith in the Real Presence is strongly rooted in Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture. In this brief and effective Bible Study Eulerson Pajimula, The youth minister at Our Lady of Good Counsel parish, displays some of the clear biblical roots of the Real Presence and shows us that what we believe truly is what Jesus taught and what the Apostles themselves believed.
