Welcome everyone,
We have completed the study of Fulton Sheen. I hope you found it interesting and enlightening.
Recent surveys have indicated that more than 50% of Catholics do not believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. This is the central teaching of the Catholic faith.
For the next six weeks, Bishop Barron will be helping us to understand the origins of the Eucharist, the importance of the Eucharist as the source and summit of the Christian life and insights into the mystery of Christ's presence in our lives.
Jesus taught us many things while he was on earth. He left us many commands: the Beatitudes, lessons from the Parables, and instructions on how to live the perfect life.
But what is the command that Christians have obeyed most consistently throughout the centuries?
“Do this in memory of me” happens many times, each and every day, throughout the whole world.
Watch this short video to find out why:
Questions:
- Bishop Barron tells of his experience as a Eucharistic minister at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, saying that he had the distinct feeling that he was distributing the Eucharist to people who were “starving for it.” Have you ever been starving for the Eucharist? What type of hunger does it fill?
- “Eucharist” means thanksgiving. How do we express gratitude during the ritual of the Mass? For what are you personally thankful?
- Why did Vatican II call the Eucharist the “source and summit of Christian life”?
