The real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist provides nourishment for our life's journey. The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life and the presence of Christ in the Eucharist is real, true, and substantial.

In the celebration of the Eucharist, bread, and wine become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit and the instrumentality of the priest. The Liturgy of the Eucharist begins with the preparations of the gifts and the altar. The prayer over the Offerings concludes the preparation and disposes all for the Eucharistic Prayer. The Eucharistic Prayer is the Heart of the Liturgy of the Eucharist.
