The Mystery of the Eucharist: Sacrifice & Hope. Journey to Eucharist28 with Fr Gerard Kelly

"The Eucharist is something we do, not just something we have." In this episode of Journey to Eucharist 28, host Father Daniele Russo and Professor Hayden Ramsey sit down with Father Gerard Kelly, a Professor of Dogmatic Theology from the Archdiocese of Sydney. Together, they explore the profound "incarnational" nature of our faith—the extraordinary reality of a God who became flesh and continues to make Himself present through the simple gifts of bread and wine.In this conversation, we discuss: * Why Jesus chose bread and wine as the staple "stuff of life" for the Sacrament. * How the Mass is not just a "recall" of the past, but a "memorial" that makes Christ’s sacrifice present to us today. * The powerful witness of St. Oscar Romero and what it means to be "consumed" by the Eucharist in our daily lives.Join us as we reflect on how the Eucharist transforms our suffering into hope and prepares us for eternal life.
