  • Father talks about Eucharistic desire.
  • What makes the Eucharist so essential to the Church?
  • (17:16) Nick – comment: once when I was before the tabernacle I could not sense the Lords presences. yet a priest came in returning the host and I discovered the Lord wasn’t there. when the host was returned I believe God was showing me his true presence and what the church is like when he isn’t there.

(21:54) Break 1

  • (23:28) Daniel – comment: once when I was before the tabernacle I could not sense the Lords presences. yet a priest came in returning the host and I discovered the Lord wasn’t there. when the host was returned I believe God was showing me his true presence and what the church is like when he isn’t there.

  • Judy – I became a Quaker yet I kept having these dreams about the Eucharist and wanting to receive. In my dream I had my hands out to receive and when I looked down there was blood and flesh in my hands. I then tried other churches but it was nothing like the catholic church so I joined.
  • (46:17) Geri – If every host was tested after consecration would every host show the blood type and cells of Jesus?
