Eucharist in the Early Church - The inner Life - April 9, 2026

The Inner Life

Father Bobby Blood joins Patrick to discuss the Eucharist in the Early Church * What is the Eucharist? * (4:46) How does the Eucharist set the Catholic Church apart? * (10:54) What was meant by breaking of the bread? * Rad to Emmaus explained. * (17:21) Robert -Thing that brought me back with the Eucharist...Jesus himself with the teaching of 5000...unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood... you will have no life... * God is saying I am telling you to eat my flesh and drink my blood...very eye opening. (21:51) Break 1 * What does Paul mean in 1 Corinthians 11:29? * (28:07) How Paul turns us to Christ (39:12) Break 2 * (40:33) Steve - Eucharist and how it's received today. Why there might be a lot of skepticism to the true presence is because of diminished reverence by the way it's received. Doing away with communion rails, extraordinary ministers, receiving in hand, etc. * (43:47) Email from Miguel about taking the Eucharist if you don’t fully understand that it’s Jesus?
