The Real Presence
JESUS' GIFT TO THE CHURCH
John Feister
ISTOCK
Ask Catholics about the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist and you're likely to hear a variety
of personal experiences. I was in a faith-sharing group with a man who was known as a "pillar of the
parish." He was always available for parish committees, helped with the festival, occasionally led the rosary
during prayer services, and was devoted to his family. He told our group about his feeling the Real Presence
of Christ during quiet moments of prayer one Sunday aer he had received Communion.
