Eucharist: Discovering the Mass in the Bible

Eucharist. The Holy Mass. For Catholics, this is often a sacrament they’ve participated in nearly every week of their lives. For non-Catholics, it is a foreign rite that many are cautious to approach. In both groups, there is a varied understanding of the Eucharist and what the Church teaches about this sacrament, described as the “source and summit of the Christian life.” 

Over the course of this study, Dr. Brant Pitre will take us back to the biblical roots of the Eucharist. Together we’ll see how this sacrament is deeply rooted in Sacred Scripture. We’ll explore its origins, it's foreshadowing in the many mysterious and miraculous events of the Old Testament and gospels, and the essential purpose and reality of Jesus’ words and actions at the Last Supper. In the end, we’ll examine how the Eucharist is not just a something, but rather Someone with whom we are meant to be in communion.
