Annotation Of The Holy Eucharist

990 Words4 Pages

What is Eucharistic Adoration?
It is the Respect and Worship we give to Jesus who is truly present in the Eucharist. We believe the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ is fully present in the Consecrated Host, simply, without qualification. That is our Catholic Faith.
Once we believe Christ is really present in the Holy Eucharist, it is only logical to conclude that we should worship Him.
Why should I do this?
The Church bids us to adore Christ hidden under the Eucharistic veil and to pray to Him for the spiritual and temporal favours of which we ever stand in need. (Mediator Dei, 131).
To visit the Blessed Sacrament is a proof of gratitude, an expression of love, and a duty of adoration toward Christ. Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament outside of Mass is strongly encouraged. …show more content…

How well do you know Him? It is easy to recognize an image of Our Lord in the manger at Christmas, as well as when we look upon a crucifix. But when we look at the Consecrated Host, enshrined in the monstrance, is He as easily recognized? The little baby in the manger and the Man on the cross are images of Jesus Christ, but the One Who is in the monstrance is not an image, but the Real Presence of Jesus in His glorified body, hidden within the Consecrated Host.
Adoration of our Lord in the Eucharist is your chance to know Jesus better. Do you really hope to spend eternity with someone you don’t

  • Overview Of Chapter II Of The Gnostic Gospels One God, One Bishop

    178 Words  | 1 Pages

    In Chapter II of The Gnostic Gospels, “One God, One Bishop”, Pagels outline how the Orthodox Christians seek to exclude the Gnostics with a creed that confirms one true God. Pagels intent is to describe how both religions differentiate in their meaning of how God shows his sovereignty. The creed was to help identify the Orthodox from the Gnostics “by confessing one God, who is both “Father Almighty” and “Maker of heaven and earth” (28). The Gnostics claim the Orthodox Christians worship a false God because of their “all-good” God creating a fallen world. Through discovering texts in history, Pagels support a claim from Marcion (a dualist) who believes there are two different Gods.

    In the Christian religion, like many others, the belief in a single, ultimate, powerful being is upheld and practiced. However, unlike other monotheistic religions, the Christian belief in God is expressed in three parts: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This aspect of Christianity is unique and is part of what defines it. Although some people may think so, God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are not three separate beings. They are united as one in the Trinity, the same all-powerful God.

  • The Genuine Nature Of The Lord's Supper

    There are different views in how Jesus presents at the celebration of the Lord’s Supper. Brother Jeffrey Gross describes that “The Roman Catholic Church has used the term transubstantiation to explain the bodily presence of Christ in the sacrament… the real presence of Christ and change of elements of bread and wine.” Wayne Grudem quotes from Ludwig Ott – ‘Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma’ that says, “Christ becomes present in the Sacrament of the Altar by the transformation of the whole substance of the bread into His Body and of the whole substance of the wine into His Blood. ... This transformation is called Transubstantiation.” Lutherans view is termed as ‘consubstantiation’ that the “…bread actually becomes the physical body of Christ, but that the physical body of Christ is present “in, with, and under” the bread of the Lord’s Supper.”
