2 What Does the Catholic Church Teach about the Eucharist ? The holy Eucharist is not simply bread and wine invested with a new significance and new finality . After the consecration at Mass , only the appearances of bread and wine remain . Dr . Robert Fastiggi
6 Altar Ego By drawing near to Jesus in the Eucharist and partaking of his irrevocable gift of himself to us , we enter into the fullness of fellowship with the Most Holy Trinity and with each other as true brothers and sisters in Christ . Donald Wallenfang , OCDS , PhD
10 A Priestly and Eucharistic Heart The Eucharist cannot exist without priests , but the reverse is also true . Priests need the Eucharist to sustain them in their life and ministry . This dependence is absolute . Fr . David Pellican
