New Column: Real Draw for Real Presence

I’m over at Faith & Family LIVE! today trying to explain why I’m Catholic. Or perhaps more to the point, why I bother to go to Mass when it’s not always easy to pay much attention to know where I even am with three little ones clinging to me.

Here’s the Cliff’s Notes answer: It just so happens that Mass is the only place I can receive Christ bodily. Over and over again I keep coming back to the Lord’s table because everything I need can be found in the Eucharist.

Here’s the article.

For anyone interested in learning more about the Eucharist, here are a few helpful links:

Definition of the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist from Catholic Encyclopedia

The Celebration of the Christian Mystery from the Catechism of the Catholic Church

I also love this post on Adoration from Conversion Diary.

Anyone else have any helpful links or words to help explain the Real Presence of Christ to curious non-Catholics or loved ones who have left the Catholic Church?
