St. Paul Center Course
The Eucharist
Presented by
Dr. Lawrence Feingold
About the course
This course explores the fittingness and purpose of the Eucharist, highlighting its three fundamental aspects: presence, sacrifice, and communion. Beginning with an examination of biblical sources and writings of the Church Fathers, the course delves into the Real Presence and the controversy surrounding it, followed by an exploration of the sacrificial dimension of the Mass and the roles of the ministerial and common priesthood. The final lessons focus on the effects of Holy Communion, the importance of disposition in receiving these effects, Eucharistic adoration, and the development of a Eucharistic spirituality.
