 Why is it that God would use bread and wine as part of His supernatural gift of His body and blood? There's deep spiritual meaning here, and I think it's easy to just gloss over that and just move into some of the more theological elements, so we're going to slow down and look at this foundation. Within every community, the church should be a reminder that Christ is present within this local community. When we have many beautiful traditional churches that have been built over the last 200 years in our country, when we see the spire of the church or a dome or whatever it is, whatever kind of symbol that we see, or the cross kind of rising up, that should remind us Jesus is present there. It should be an invitation for people, come, encounter Christ here. This is where He is present. The Eucharist can help us to see the priority of people over things, and that's what we're going to be unpacking in this course, not only the doctrine of the Most Holy Eucharist, but also how it is the very center of our lives.
