Join Patti Brunner for Truth of the Spirit and completion of the series “The Eucharist and Other Sacraments” to find the connection of the power signs from God called Sacraments. The Eucharist is “the source and summit of the Christian life.” “The other sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it.” The sacraments all flow from the gift of salvation given to us through the sacrifice of Jesus upon the cross and his resurrection from the dead which is made present during the celebration of the sacrament of Eucharist in a unique way. In the Gospel of John, John identifies the signs Jesus gave us that go beyond themselves. Theses seven signs,that underlie the teachings that the Church, developed as the 7 sacraments. It has always been a matter of conviction in the Catholic Church that by the consecration of the bread and wine a conversion takes place of the whole substance of bread into the substance of the body of Christ our Lord, and of the whole substance of the wine into the substance of His blood. This is known as the “Real Presence”. Transubstantiation sets apart the Sacrament of the Eucharist. This “Real Presence” reveals the “kingdom on earth as it is in heaven” and allows those who receive it to enter eternity. Join Patti Brunner as she shares her experience of some of those moments.
