    • The Eucharist Is Really Jesus

      As part of our parish’s commitment to the USCCB Eucharistic Revival Initiative and drawing closer to the love of Jesus found in the Eucharist, we have secured limited copies* of Joe Heschmeyer’s book, The Eucharist Is Really Jesus. 
      
      When we recognize Jesus in the bread of the Holy Eucharist―when we understand that it’s really Jesus―our eyes of faith are opened, and the mysteries of the Christian life are unlocked. 
      Catholic belief in the Eucharist is biblical and reasonable. If you’re used to thinking of Communion as a purely symbolic ritual, you’ll find in this book a compelling defense of the ancient doctrine of the Real Presence. And even if you already believe it, that’s not an end, but just the beginning. Knowing that the Eucharist is really Jesus is the master key to understanding: 
      
      • The cross of Good Friday and the empty tomb of Easter Sunday
      • How to worship God in spirit and truth, according to the Bible
      • The meaning of our own bodies and their immortal destiny
      • How to love God and each other every day, like the saints…and more essential aspects of our lifelong walk with Jesus
