Eucharistic Body of Christ

[Jim_Baur]

There is the Word of God.

There is the Living Word of God or the Holy Bible.

There is the Incarnate Word of God and His body.

There is the Resurrected body of Christ.

There is the Church.We are the body of Christ.

There is the Eucharistic body of Christ.

Please forgive my ignorance: What is the official teaching of the Church on the Eucharistic body of Christ?

How are we to understand the sacramental body of Christ?

How are they all related?

Do understand through analogies?

THANKS!!!

First, Jesus is the Word of God.

Jesus is really, truly present in the Holy Bible.

Jesus is in us and we are in him in the Church, the body of Christ.

Jesus is really, truely and substantially present, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, in the Holy Eucharist.

Physically present in our world in a non-bloody manner.
The living bread, manna sent to us from heaven to feed our souls.

Do not be discouraged if you do not understand.

We are not asked to understand, but to believe.

Thank you.

Additional question to any person who can help: What explanation does the Church give for the difference between the Eucharistic body and the physical body of Jesus?

Thanks!

The first is presented to us under the appearances of bread and wine. The second ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father until the last day. And, as 06convert state, they both the same as well.
