Transubstantiation is the teaching that the bread and wine at Mass cease to be in substance bread and wine and transform into the true Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, while retaining the accidental forms of bread and wine.
The Mass is the celebration of Divine Worship and the highest celebration of our Faith.
God’s mercy is infinite.
The Eucharist fulfills our Lord’s promise to give us Himself, the Bread of Life.
The Mass is a re-presentation of Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross.
Ancient people offered animal sacrifices to praise God, to thank God, to mark new beginnings, and to show sorrow for their sins.
Jesus Death and Resurrection are a new Passover, which brought about salvation from sin and death.
At Mass, the bread and wine are changed into the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.
At every Mass, the events of our salvation are made present to us on the altar in the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, and we are invited take part in this memorial of our salvation.
Transubstantiation is the theological term used to describe the miraculous change of the gifts of bread and wine into Jesus Body and Blood.
We must be prepared to receive Holy Communion at Mass and to better understand the mystery of Christs presence to us in the Eucharist.
The Church is an enduring sign of salvation and is the very instrument of our salvation.
Jesus gave His life on the Cross and rose from the dead on the third day so that we could be forgiven of our sins.
Because Jesus rose from the dead, we have been saved from sin and death, and it is now possible for us to be forgiven of our sin and to enter into Heaven one day.
