Without a doubt, the Eucharist (Holy Communion) is the most widely misunderstood and hotly debated teaching in all of Christianity.
Whether you're a lifelong Catholic, new to the Church, one of our Protestant or Evangelical brothers and sisters, or someone starting to question if God could be real, a little clarity would be nice!
What proof is there that Jesus Christ ever said that a piece of bread and a cup of wine contain his entire body, blood, soul, and divinity?
Why do Catholics consider the Eucharist to be the centerpoint of everything they believe—Isn't it just a symbol?
My church has communion, but I'm not Catholic. Why is there a difference?
In recent decades, teachings on the Eucharist have fallen out of style in favor of lessons on how to live right, how to help the poor, how to live the Faith in the workplace, and more. All of these are important and necessary, but they miss the core essence of our Faith.
That's why the Catholic Church in America is right now in the midst of a Eucharistic Revival to bring awareness, understanding, and desire to the Sacrament; set hearts on fire with love for Jesus; and bring us, the faithful, into a deeper relationship with our Lord and Savior.
What does this mean? Why does this matter? Why now?
In 2019, the Pew Research Institute found that 69% of Catholics do not know or do not believe core-teachings about the Eucharist, such as transubstantiation and the True Presence.
If the Eucharist is misunderstood inside the Catholic Church... How much more in our culture at-large?
RED-C stands for Religious Education for the Domestic Church, so a Eucharistic Revival is right up our alley!
After a lot of prayer and discernment, we realized there is a lot of information out there on the Sacrament of the Eucharist that is very high-level and helpful... if you've been a practicing Catholic (or theologian) for quite some time.
But resources are much more scattered and difficult to find if you are brand-new to the Church or a non-Catholic searching for Church teachings.
That's why we created Eucharist 101: a short, seven-part miniseries that covers the absolute basics of the Eucharist, provides helpful information for new Catholics or those who have never encountered the Eucharist before, unveils some of the deeper theology of the Sacrament, and points you in the direction of where to learn more.
When you sign up for FREE today, you'll receive a confirmation e-mail, followed by a series of seven emails over seven days with brief written and video resources to help you learn more about the incredible Sacrament of the Eucharist.
