Overview

¿Qué significa consumir el Cuerpo y la Sangre de Cristo en la Misa? ¿Es la Eucaristía solo un símbolo? ¿Está Cristo presente de la misma manera que lo estuvo con los discípulos en el aposento alto? Si no estás seguro de cómo responder a estas preguntas sobre este misterio central de nuestra fe, no estás solo; la mayoría de los católicos no saben cómo responder. En Presencia real, el teólogo de la Universidad de Notre Dame, Timothy P. O'Malley, aclara la confusión al explicar los orígenes bíblicos y la larga tradición de las doctrinas de la Iglesia sobre la presencia real y la transubstanciación. También explora las prácticas espirituales necesarias para formarnos para reconocer a Cristo en la Eucaristía y ver al Señor en los demás. Aprenderás: cómo la doctrina de la presencia real tiene sus raíces en la revelación divina y cómo la enseñanza de la Iglesia sobre la transubstanciación es espiritualmente fructífera para los creyentes de hoy; cómo adorar a Cristo en la Eucaristía y hacer un verdadero asentimiento a la presencia real; cómo la Eucaristía es crucial para hacer crecer nuestra capacidad de reconocer a Cristo en la Palabra y en los demás; y la importante relación entre la comunión eucarística y la adoración.
