Sunday Sermon, August 11 -- St Thomas on the Eucharist, How Christ is Present in this Sacrament, Part 2 of 4

 We discuss St Thomas' treatise on the Eucharist in the Summa Theologica, in honor of the Bread of Life Discourse and the Vatican's declaration of Jubilee Celebrations of St Thomas Aquinas.


In this sermon, we look to ST III, qq.75-77.  Why it is that the Eucharist cannot merely be a symbol, and how it is that the whole Jesus is present in this Sacrament.  Also, we discuss the accidental properties of bread and wine which remain, even though the substance has changed to the Body and Blood of Christ.
