INTRODUCTION: At then end of our Gospel lesson, we briefly mentioned the "Real Presence." So what is the Real Presence? The Real presence is when the bread and wine truly become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, through the power of the Holy Spirit, at Mass. Through the power of his words and the working of the Holy Spirit, Jesus is made present. At the Last Supper, Jesus took bread and said, "This is my Body!" Then he took the wine and said, "This is my Blood." Jesus keeps his promises. That is why the priest takes bread and wine, just as Jesus did at the Last Supper, and says the words of Jesus over them. Then the bread is no longer bread, but the Body of Christ. The wine is no longer wine, but the Blood of Christ. What we eat looks like bread, but it is Jesus who comes to us. What we drink looks like wine, but again, it is Jesus. Turn to Page 4 in your Good News Weekly and read the section titled "We Believe," and then turn to page 3 and read the Catholic Faith Word "Real Presence." When you are done, take a look at the diagram below to learn more about the Real Presence, also known as "Transubstantiation," and then answer the questions below.

Great job! Jesus loves us so much that he wants to be close to us, so he created  a way to be with us – in the form of food, to bring continuing life to us.  Jesus wanted to make it easy for us to know that he is always with us, that he is really present.  Thus, under the forms of bread and wine, the resurrected Jesus is with us –“body, blood, soul, and divinity.” (CCC#1374)  His whole life, strength, courage, happiness – all of him is with us. We don’t understand exactly how this happens, but we trust and believe because we know that Jesus promised this to us.
AMEN: Before we end this lesson, I want  to talk about a little word that means a lot - Amen! So when do we say Amen? We say Amen at the end of many prayers. We say Amen when you receive Holy Communion. Amen means "This is so" or " I believe this." When you go up to receive communion the priest will say to you "Body of Christ" and your response is "Amen." When you say Amen you are saying that you believe in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.
