The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is in the midst of a three-year, multi-million-dollar campaign to reinforce belief in the real presence of the Eucharist. While the cost is a mere widow’s mite compared to the mid-term political campaigns this country has recently weathered, it nonetheless sounds like a great pile of cash to many Catholics — myself included.
A few years later, I memorised the Latin Mass responses from a red cover booklet, How to Serve Low Mass, qualifying me as an altar boy. In those days of yore, Mass was a hermetically sealed experience focused on the transubstantiation of wine — which only the priest could receive — and of bread, which congregants could receive but not touch!We no longer passively attend Mass; now we actively celebrate the Eucharist.
The healthcare workers riding the bus to various nursing facilities along the route are on their way to yet another real presence, as they care for people whose bodies can no longer care for themselves. Their Sunday morning rituals with the real presence of people confined to beds, wheelchairs, and walkers are also revelatory. I find myself remembering these blessed, broken bodies and the health care workers ministering to them during the prayers of the faithful.
