The Eucharist: Discovering the Mass in the Bible.  The Eucharist is the center-point of the Mass – but why?

“The Lamb of God,” “The Bread of Life,” “The Body and the Blood of Christ”… these are phrases we know from the Mass. But do we understand what they mean in the greater and deeper context of Scripture and Church teaching? Acclaimed author and teacher Dr. Brant Pitre rigorously digs down to the biblical roots of the Eucharist, through its foreshadowing in the miraculous events of the Old Testament, the Gospels, and Apostolic teaching.

As part of the National Eucharistic revival, we’ll discover firsthand how Christ’s Body and Blood are an integral and wondrous part of God’s plan for our salvation. We’ll explore questions such as:

·Why does the Church call the Eucharist the “source and summit of the Christian life?”
·How are hints of the Eucharist seen throughout the Old Testament
·Explore more deeply what the “Lamb of God” means
·What did Jesus mean when he spoke of Himself as “the bread which comes down from heaven?”  
·What is the connection between the Old Testament celebration of Passover and Jesus’s Last Supper with his disciples—and how does that impact the Mass as we know it?
·How did the Apostles put into practice Christ’s command to “Do this in memory of me?”

Wherever you may be in your faith regarding the mystery of the Eucharist, you will be profoundly moved by Dr. Pitre’s study of the Eucharist.
