Eucharist Presence Part 3

The Eucharist- Part 3- The Presence- presented by Jimmy Seghers. The focus of this segment is on the presence. Jesus promised I will be with you always. It affirms a truth that Catholics have always believed: the blessed Eucharist is the source and the summit of the Christian life. The Eucharist presents the redemptive sacrifice of Christ on Calvary, and it also unites our modest offering of the sacrifice of Jesus, our head. The Catechism teaches our Lord’s presence under the humble appearance of bread and wine, and it raises the Eucharist above all the sacraments as the perfection of the spiritual life and the goal of all the sacraments. The power of the blessed Eucharist to transform us into Christ is astounding. The blessed Eucharist is designed to form saints. Jimmy shares historical evidence that the Eucharist is the true body, blood, soul, and divinity of Christ.

He is seen on FOCUS with Lisa Flood discussing biblical and religious topics. His classes are approved by the Archdiocese of New Orleans for certification credits for religion teachers.

The Eucharist- Part 2- The Union

The Eucharist. Part 2- The Union. The major theme of this segment is ‘the kiss of the bridegroom.’ The Mass procession is a reminder that every Mass is a wedding.

Presented by Jimmy Seghers

Jesus’ wedding reception begins in the upper room on Holy Thursday. It continues on Good Friday when our sins nailed him to his wedding bed and will be celebrated triumphantly in heaven as the marriage supper of the lamb. Jimmy takes us through scripture from the Song of Songs, Ezekial, and Jerimiah, to Ephesians, Galatians, and Revelations, explaining the relationship and union of the bridegroom, ‘Jesus,’ and his bride, ‘the Church.’ He shares how the bridegroom is deeply rooted in the covenant God established with his people, and its bond forms a nuptial relationship with God. Jimmy concludes by explaining the ‘three kisses’ and how we are transformed as we receive holy communion. Leading to the fulfillment of Jesus prayer, “Father, that they may be all in one, as you, Father, are in me and I in thee, that they may also be in us.”
