"The Eucharist" Lenten Study: Do you also want to leave?

"This saying is hard; who can accept it?” “Do you also want to leave?" St. John wrote those words about 2,000 years ago. The lack of belief was a problem then and it's a bigger problem now based on surveys that show the increasing number of Catholics who don't believe in the Real Presence - the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of our Lord Jesus. However, we have an advantage compared to those ancient would-be followers of Jesus Christ. We have Scripture, Tradition, and the teachings of the Holy Catholic Church. We have the opportunity to zoom back thousands of years ago into Jewish history and then speed ahead into the time of Jesus and the authors of the New Testament. And then we fast forward to now, to ask ourselves that same question, can we accept this teaching?

In this Lenten Study, we will be following the book, The Eucharist, from Fr. Mitch Pacwa. This book will be $5 for Christ the King parishioners and $11 for non-parishioners. Beginning February 26 there will be five one-hour sessions held each Sunday during Lent after the 10am Mass. Please bring to each session The Eucharist book, your Bible, and a notebook.
