Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ – June 26, 2011
Celebrating the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ
The central focal point of faith experience for Catholics is Communion. In the Eucharist, unity with God becomes palpable, tangible.
When we understand Communion, we understand the type of God we worship, a God of self-giving.
We also understand our response: total commitment.

What do I believe?
Recently, a Gallup poll was taken on Catholic attitudes toward Holy Communion.
The poll showed serious confusion among Catholics about one of the most basic beliefs of the Church.
Only 30 percent of those surveyed believe they are actually receiving the Body and Blood,
soul and divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ under the appearance of bread and wine.
29 percent think they are receiving bread and wine which symbolize the spirit and teachings of Jesus and,
in so doing, are expressing their attachment to His person and words.
10 percent understand their action to be receiving bread and wine in which Jesus is present.
and 23 percent hold that they are receiving what has become the Body and Blood of Christ
because of their personal belief.
Any well-informed Catholic will recognize that only the first option, chosen by the 30 percent, is true Catholic teaching.
The other options represent various forms of Protestant belief.
