Easter Message from the Teaching Ministry
"The Presence, the Mystery of the Eucharist"
A Blessed Easter to all our dear brothers and sisters in Christ!
The Lord’s Resurrection impacted the life of his followers, namely his apostles as well as the witnesses of this momentous event. But the effects of this singular moment in time me in humanity’s salvation reverberates through the ages throughout the Christian world and to His church where we all belong.
THE CHURCH: SACRAMENT OF SALVATION “Christ, having been lifted up from the earth has drawn all to Himself. Rising from the dead He sent His life-giving Spirit upon His disciples and through Him has established His Body which is the Church as the universal sacrament of salvation.” --Lumen Gentium, 48
The Teaching Ministry is inviting you to join us, as Disciples to continue to reflect on Jesus' Resurrection through group prayer and reflections.
Although the Eucharist appears to be simple bread and wine, it is actually the “source and summit” of the Christian life.
Presence the Mystery of the Eucharist explores the truth and beauty of Christ’s real presence in the Eucharist, from it’s origin in Sacred scripture, to it’s profound role in the life of the Church and her members. It is the crescendo of the entire story of Salvation.
