Followers of Christ have been questioning whether or not Jesus truly gives us his body and blood in the Eucharist. To this day, many of our Christian brothers and sisters profess that Jesus comes to us in communion merely as a symbol. Some even think that the true presence is a more modern concept that was not understood as such by the early Church. So what did the early Church Fathers say about the Eucharist?

It's easy to fall into a routine and lose sight of the little miracles all around us. Unfortunately, it is even easy to fall into a routine and lose sight of the greatest miracle of all, happening right in front of us.
The greatest gift God has ever given humanity: himself. Christ offered his body at the Last Supper, he sacrificed it on the Cross, and he continues to give himself to us at each and every Mass. This miracle, occurring each time we go to Mass, gives us an opportunity to partake in redemption, unite with our Savior, and live a sacramental life.

One of the biggest questions we ask is, “Is God really with us?” Foreshadowed in the Old Testament, and established to bring us close to him, the Eucharist is God’s greatest gift to us. The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life. If we’re wondering where God is, if we’re feeling lonely, or if we need strength to follow Jesus, we can turn to the Eucharist and be thankful that Jesus gives us himself in the Sacrament of the Eucharist.
