Preparation Week 4: The Eucharist

ROBERT BARRON VIDEOS FROM THE PARENT SESSION (FOR PARENTS)

Real Presence - Bishop Robert Barron says, "appearance and reality do not always coincide". The Church says, in the case of the Eucharist, what appears to be ordinary bread and wine, in fact is “changed” at the deepest level of its reality through the words of the priest. Words not only describe reality, but under right circumstances can change reality.

John 6 - Jesus' teaching that he is the bread come down from heaven divided people then and divides people now.
