The Holy Eucharist is a sacrament and a sacrifice. In the Holy Eucharist, under the appearances of bread and wine, the Lord Christ is contained, offered, and received. The whole Christ is really, truly, and substantially present in the Holy Eucharist. We use the words "really, truly, and substantially" to describe Christ's presence in the Holy Eucharist in order to distinguish Our Lord's teaching from that of mere men who falsely teach that the Holy Eucharist is only a sign or figure of Christ, or that He is present only by His power. All Christians, with but few minor exceptions, held the true doctrine of the Real Presence from the time of Christ until the Protestant Revolution in the sixteenth century. The word " Eucharist " means " Thanksgiving ." Reference: EWTN Faith Teachings
I write my heart, my thoughts, and my soul for my faith community -- the YUPPEACE. This is my way of witnessing to the greatness and goodness of the Lord, Jesus Christ. YUPPEACE [Young Upbeat Professionals for Peace, founded in 1994] is a community of people who used to be "wounded children" but have grown spiritually Christ-centered through various spiritual and psychological formation programs created by this community. Our spiritual director and founder is Fr. Armand Robleza, SDB, a Salesian priest. Currently, the St. John Bosco Parish in Makati is our home base where we meet every Wednesday night. Our activities, though, reach the various provinces of the Philippines. Yuppeace conducts retreats, recollections, seminars, apostolic activities, and other formation programs. If you wish to join YUPPEACE, drop by at St. John Bosco Parish Church compound in Makati at Arnaiz Avenue on any Wednesday at 7:00 PM. You'll find us at the AVR, 2nd floor of the parish building.
