Of course Jesus can be in many places “at once.” Consider that in receiving the Eucharist you receive Jesus in his entirety–his whole body and blood, whole and entire, including his soul and divinity along with his human nature. Jesus has only one body, and he is not multiplied in the Eucharist. Neither is he divided. Yet the person behind you in the communion line receives the SAME Jesus that you just received, and that everybody else receives.
Location–spatial location–is an accident, along with all the other things which are perceptible to the senses. Both spatial location and temporal location are “appearances” or “accidents.” And we do not perceive Jesus’ accidents in the Eucharist. We perceive only the accidents of bread and wine. We may say that he is present in many places and times simultaneously, but from his point of view he is making his one body present to each of us. (Also, since he has only one body, in becoming united with him, we become united with one another,)

I think ill go with what the priest said in one of the links I provided (I think its from another thread). Jesus turned the bread and wine into His body and blood by His own divine power, at the Last Supper.
I think he also said the Eucharist wasn’t glorified at the Last Supper.

So it was the Divine power of Jesus that turned it into His body and blood ?A glorified body is not able, by virtue of it being glorified, to transubstantiate from body and blood to the appearance of bread and wine, everywhere on the globe to be consumed. That is NOT a property of a glorified body. A glorified body becomes impassible, meaning it will never die or suffer. There may be other abilities as well, but not what happens in the Holy Eucharist.
Only God can effect what happens in the Eucharist. So it is GOD that makes the Eucharist possible, not a glorified body. Therefore, because Jesus is the Son of God, or God Incarnate, he IS ABLE to effect the Eucharistic transformation, whether he is in a glorified body or not.

Ok, but I still think the Eucharist may have been glorified, as it says so in two articles, one written by a CAF member.Yes.
