The Body And Blood Of Christ; Corpus Christi; The Lord's Supper

Contributed by Paul Andrew on May 17, 2023

In one and the same act, Judas hands Christ over to be sent to death, and Christ hands himself over in his self-giving in the Eucharist to us.

St. Thomas Aquinas says we often remember unusual things better than familiar things because things with a weird twist make a greater impression on the mind, which is also validated by the modern neuroscience of memory. So, here are some unusual truths about the Eucharist: The customary or valid ...read more
