The latest Pew Study showed that more than 70% of self-described Catholics believe that the bread and wine are just symbols of the Body and Blood of Christ. Rather than curse the darkness, we are deciding to light a candle by having a six week Bible study this fall that will examine the Eucharist in Scripture. It will be Wednesday evenings beginning on September 18th at 7pm in McCarthy Hall at Saint Paul. There will also be time for food and fellowship during the evenings.
In The “Eucharist in Scripture”, discover God’s plan as it is expressed through the Bible and the Mass. This six-lesson study, presented by Pamela Kuczora featuring (in dvd) Dr. Scott Hahn, will unlock the meaning of covenant, sacrifice, and sacrament as understood in the Bible, from Genesis through Revelation. The study bases itself on Dr. Hahn’s foundational talks: “The Lamb’s Supper,” “The Fourth Cup,” and “Consuming the Word”. The “Eucharist in Scripture” examines the biblical foundations of the Eucharist and explores the Church’s liturgy as the original context for the books of the Bible.
Are you sure that you are actually receiving the Body and Blood of Christ? Are you confused or just wondering? Invite any Protestant or unchurched friends who might be wondering about what Catholics believe (or are supposed to believe)!
