Fr. Alan's Homilies 
Dear Fr. Alan,
Thank you for the in depth explanation about transubstantiation! (June 2, 2024) In reading the commentary, I have a better understanding of what the consecration of the mass means. At first, I thought that I was totally wrong in seeing the physical bread and wine and not “seeing” the physical body and blood.” It was confusing to me—just looking at it from a literal standpoint.
Now, I understand that the eyes see the physical substance, but our hearts and minds through our faith perceive the real presence of Jesus’ body and blood.
You’re very welcome.
