Mystery of Transubstantiation

"Jesus gives Himself to us," the Mystery of Transubstantiation

By Fr. Ray Ryland, Coming Home Network

One of the post-communion prayers in the Eucharistic liturgy makes this petition: “Lord, by our
sharing in the mystery of this Eucharist, let your saving love grow within us. Grant this through Christ
our Lord.”

We pray and say things like this so often in our liturgy we tend to take them for granted. Take another
and closer look at what Jesus Christ does in this great mystery of the Eucharist.

Start With the Incarnation

Ponder these astounding words from the prologue to the Fourth Gospel: “In the beginning was the
word, and the word was with God, and the word was God...And the word became flesh and dwelt
among us, full of grace and truth...” (John 1:1, 14a)

Sacred scripture is telling us that Almighty God has become part of the material world. And all for the
purpose of working out our salvation through the human nature (body as well a soul) of his divine
Son.

Now that Christ has been raised in glory, through his transfigured human nature God mediates to us
the salvation Christ has won for us. God acts on us in an intimate, person-to-person way.

Our contact with God is a spiritual reality made possible by god’s grace and by our response to that
grace in faith. And so for all persons who have faith in Christ, he makes himself spiritually available to
them.

Bur in his infinite love for us, Jesus Christ has chosen to do far more than be simply spiritually
available.

In the Eucharist, Jesus Christ Gives Us Direct Contact With His Human Nature

Think of your senses: Hearing, seeing, smelling, touching, tasting. You can hear or see or smell
something, but our sense of hearing or seeing or smelling is detached from its object. You are not in
direct physical contact with what you hear or see or smell.

Touching is different. We come into direct contact with something by putting our fingers or our hand
on that object. Tasting is a form of touching, but with a very great difference. Tasting – eating –
actually brings about a union between ourselves and the object of our tasting (eating). What we eat
literally becomes part of us.

Now this is deeply significant: the central act of the Catholic religion is an act of feeding on particular
food. Jesus wants us to be united with him through faith, of course. But through his Church he has
provided for much more intimate contact with himself. He has given us food – the Eucharist – through
which he gives us his very self.

At the Last Supper he said of the elements, “this is my body,” “this is my blood.” (Matt. 26:26-28).
Jesus Christ gives us himself under forms of bread and wine.
In all the other sacraments, Jesus uses physical means through which he gives us his grace: the
water of baptism, the oil of the anointing, and so. But in the Eucharist, the physical means Jesus uses
themselves become Jesus Christ himself.

Only God himself could fully explain the miracle of the Eucharist, but the Holy Spirit enables his
Church to describe the miracle, in her doctrine of transubstantiation.
