Event Description

The Holy Eucharist is called the "source and summit" of our Catholic faith, but do we really understand its true meaning? What is meant by the “Real Presence” of Jesus in the Eucharist, how does this happen, and when did Christians first believe in His words of consecration to be taken literally?

Jesus said: “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.” (Jn 6:53- 55) Recalling these words of Jesus, the Catholic Church professes that, in the celebration of the Eucharist, bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, through the power of the Holy Spirit and the instrumentality of the priest.

Fullness of Truth, therefore, on September 23rd & 24th at St. Paul Chong Hasang Catholic Church in Harker Heights (Austin Diocese), TX, appropriately returns to one of its central missions: to magnify their attendee’s love of Our Lord Jesus Christ, truly present in the Holy Mass and the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar! This crucially important Eucharistic Conference is entitled, “And The Word Became Flesh: Real Presence, Real Power!” Come explore both fresh insights and the non-negotiable truths related to the Holy Eucharist, with the Augustine Institute’s remarkable theologian & author Dr. Elizabeth Klein, and the Augustine Institute’s dynamic scripture scholar & author Dr. Michael Barber. This conference will familiarize you with the truths of The Holy Eucharist embraced by theologians, saints and mystics, but sadly and too often have not been passed on to average, and even life-long Catholics in a meaningful way. No matter how much or how little you already know about the Eucharist, the "secrets" revealed and revisited will bring you to a new, personal "Emmaus" experience, again and again, at every future Mass attended!
