I appreciate the way Fr. Corapi explains the Eucharist. I think too many people are focused on the idea that somehow they are consuming Jesus and that gets their head all messed up. But Fr. Corapi explains it well, I think. This may not be a word-for-word quote, but it is close:
Those that say it couldn’t happen are, perhaps unwittingly, denying the power of God. Do they believe that God is Omnipotent? Do they believe that God created the universe and everything in it? Do they believe that Jesus healed the blind, cured the sick, and after His own crucifixion, was resurrected from the dead? If you believe all these things, then what’s the big deal about Real Presence? It’s child’s play compared to creating the universe and all the other things.
Without Real Presence, that couldn’t happen. Real Presence is there because Jesus said it is. No hyperbole, no symbolism. It’s really just that simple. Those that say there’s no biblical proof are choosing to ignore the plain words of the Gospel.When we participate in the Eucharist, it is not that we assimilate Jesus Christ into ourselves, it is that He assimilates Us into Him.
