Something's Missing from the Eucharistic Revival

The Catholic Church has been emphasizing faith in the Eucharist over the past few years as a part of the Eucharistic Revival. Everything so far has been good... it's just been incomplete.

@tlamin that's the importance protestant churches lack, it's the presence of Jesus Christ himself within the tabernacle & within the Eucharist. Any catholic that still thinks the Eucharist is symbolic instead of reality needs to pray to be filled with The Blessed Mothers limitless faith & Jesus Infinite love

What’s needed for this revival is a deep study into the theology, history, philosophy and customary/cultural practices of the Eucharist. Guides should be written and study groups/classes should be organized on this as well. I converted 42 years ago from the Lutheran Church and intense, deep study on the Eucharist was a requirement for all preparing for Confirmation (First Communion) in that denomination.

Some Catholics (and others) might understand the eucharist by watching the 7 minute film titled "The Veil Removed". It's on the internet. It is powerful. Sometimes a visual (an emotion) helps more than words (intellect). Put them both together and it's even more powerful!

When I was a kid, the Catholic Church in town was pretty much always open during the day for Eucharistic adoration. Nowadays, at least in the big city, it seems every church is locked and adoration must be scheduled. One would think that after the archbishop lifted the increased rules from the great sickness, that they would open back up. If I was a retiree or unemployed, I'd have the ability to participate but alas, it's not a possibility for me.

@ignatiusjackson235 6 ай бұрын

@@Aaryq More importantly than Eucharistic Adoration, I suggest that you attend the Mass (abstaining from the Eucharist, of course, until you have fully converted), front to back. Study the words, understand what they mean. Observe all that is happening in front of you. Realize that it's not simply a community gathering, but a transformative experience. From the prayer of penance to the liturgy of the Word (including Old Testament prophecies, New Testament epistles, and Gospel readings); from the profession of faith in the Nicene Creed to the most important part - the liturgy of the Eucharist, the true substantive offering of Christ's Body and Blood for our sins on the alter. Study the Mass. Do so week after week. If you have any questions, take note of them and ask the priest afterwards. He should be glad to help you in your journey. As great as Eucharistic Adoration can be, it couldn't happen without the Mass itself. Even if it's not performed very well, if the homily isn't all that it should be, if the cantor sings out of tune, it's the full Mass that results in the Eucharist in the first place. Every phrase we utter in the Mass has a history and a purpose. May God bless you on your journey, and may He share entirely in your life's purpose as you do so in His. I have faith in you, brother. God bless!

Thank you, Father Casey, for this talk delving deep into the significance of the Eucharist. Despite knowing that I am supposed to believe that the Eucharist is the body and blood of our Lord, I have a hard time seeing it as anything more than a symbol. It has always been a struggle for me, as I am am sure it is for many Catholics, to see past the elegant ceremonial aspects of the Eucharistic celebration, and to view it as something far more transcendent. Your commentary is a small stepping stone on my way to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Eucharist. For that, I am grateful.

Friar Casey, during one Sunday mass in 2007, I was wondering what should happen to the Eucharist when it was raining and the church was "overly populated" so some had to sit outside under roofings made by the church. I sat outside the church since it was overly crowded and I was like "God, the rain is going to soak the host wet, what would you do? Will you let the deacons get wet too? " And before the deacons delivered the Eucharist... There was a strong wind blowing and the rain ceased... And after every single one church goers had their host and children got the blessings through the hands of the priest, another strong wind blew and the rain resumed... Even though it was like a coincidence, I can only say "God, You're cheating" haha...

Father, everything you say is correct. There is certainly a greater problem in our American Church that poor teaching of the Real Presence. We absolutely need to come what we receive to make a greater missionary impact in our communities. But the problem is, and you probably realize this, is that the grand majority of Catholics have no idea what they have. It’s so true that you can’t give what you don’t have, and this is so true of the faithful today. We can’t expect people to understand something they’ve never been taught or encountered. Why does the beauty and truth of our faith feel like this very well kept secret?? I think this great endeavor to understand the real presence is at least a starting point. Expecting people to go out and bring Jesus to their communities isn’t going to happen unless the fire, and I mean a fire, is first lit within the folks who are regularly coming to Mass.

Wonderful,Fr. Casey! I wish other Catholic apologists-especially those on the same platform (YT) would cross-reference this excellent brief on pushing the “Eucharistic revival” farther-from understanding and adoration, to “becoming what we receive.” By the way Fr. Mike Schmitz’s homily for Epiphany Sunday 2023 resonates with the point you make here; that we cannot go to mass and remain unchanged because “if we truly offer the sacrifice of the mass with the priest and with Jesus himself, we would be different, we would be more like him.”

Not only I am so on fire for God, I even pray the 7 sorrows of Mary and there is no man or woman behaviors that will make me leave the church again.

Yes! Yes! That’s it! Finally! This video provides a great description of the Eucharist’s invitation to a table where people in all places and conditions gather to become one with Christ. Forgive me as I attempt to do a cartwheel! I get a sense the Church, with its recent attempt at Eucharistic revival, has behaved to some degree like it started a 21-century Counter Reformation. Doctrine camps, dogma lessons, myth busting, and harsh didacticism (exaggerating a bit here) won’t work in the modern era. Mission, vision, charism, love, forgiveness, etc., are what people can wrap their hearts and minds around. They are also the characteristics that made Christ so compelling to begin with. Let’s stop telling Catholics they’re wrong and start reminding them of what Jesus called them to in the Eucharist. The rest of what’s needed will likely follow. I’m so glad I watched this video. The other recent “revival” videos I’ve watched were pretty awful.

The mark of an effective Church is NOT how many people come BUT how many people who live differently as a result of having been there.

The Church needs to engage with the people. Sinners as we all are, burdened with our sins and guilt and all the other issues and struggles. I honestly don't know where to start, but the most effective RC church nearby has a long bulletin with lots of information and a weekly calendar. Every week there's a: Young Adult Bible Study YA Sorority meeting One all-day Adoration (morning to 6pm) YA Fraternity Lay Carmelites meeting Pre-mass Rosary (Saturdays) And informally, generally 1 or more additional informal meetups. Last month, for Advent & Christmas, there were like 6 additional opportunities between candlelit masses, adoration, and YA events. This month, there's a parish dinner.

Popes John Paul II & Benedict XVI would agree with this excellent video. St. POPE JOHN PAUL II: "We must not deceive ourselves: it's from our reciprocal love and, in particular, from the concern we have for those in need that we will be recocgnized as true disciples of Christ. This is the criterion on the basis of which the authenticity of our Eucharist celebrations will be confirmed." POPE BENEDICT XVI: "Worship itself, Eucharistic communion, includes the reality both of being loved and of loving others in turn. A Eucharist which does not pass over into the concrete practice of love [of others] is intrinsically fragmented."

Greatly enjoyed your video. I was curious about Catholic interpretation of the Eucharist and was about to do a search on the topic after reading through comments on an unrelated YT video; I saw your channel's name mentioned and did a search only to find you've posted this video within the hour: how fortuitous! I immediately watched as I've come to trust you as I've heard you speak on Upon Friar Review: you're doing a great job with outreach! Best wishes to you in your work.
