Author Description

<p> In this essay, Leon Suprenant points us to the centrality of<br/>the Eucharist in our lives. Transubstantiation changes the bread and wine into<br/>the Body and Blood of Christ, and so we are to let the Eucharist change us.<br/>Change us wholly, so that we are fully one with Christ, and can then act in the<br/>world through and for Him. Receiving the Eucharist changes our relationship<br/>with Christ, but it should also change our relationship with the world, because<br/>through Him we are united as children of a loving Father. Suprenant shows,<br/>through a well-chosen collection of Bible passages and Church documents, that<br/>the Eucharist is indeed – as Vatican II reminds us – the “source and summit of<br/>the Christian life.”</p><p></p>
