About this ebook
As an antidote to the widespread lack of faith in the Real
Presence, theologian Scott Hahn prescribes a look at the early Church’s
understanding of the relationship between the Eucharist and parousia. In modern
times we understand “parousia” to refer to the glorious second coming of
Christ, but in the time of Paul this was not so; on the contrary the same word,
parousia, could refer merely to one’s bodily presence. While the presence of
Christ now is hidden under the humble forms of bread and wine, He is truly with
us in the Eucharist. The hope we have of the glorious second coming of Christ
is fulfilled at every Mass!
