Welcome to Session Six
Christopher West
The Eucharist: Sacrament of the Bridegroom & the Bride
Description: You are not crazy to yearn for something more than this life has to offer! Join Christopher West as he explains the teaching of St. John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI that the Eucharist is “the sacrament of the Bridegroom and of the Bride” and the fulfillment of eros, understood as the longing of the heart for the Infinite. Get ready: you will never see the altar, the chalice, the Cross, the Blessed Mother, and flowers the same way again!!
Question: Have you ever thought of the Eucharist as the consummation of the marriage between Christ and the Church? What is your honest reaction to that? What might you need to work through for that to become a life-giving experience in your own heart?

"Fulfilled: The Promise of the Christian Life"
Get the new DVD study series from Christopher West!
In this life-changing series, Christopher takes you on an eye-opening tour of the first pillar of the Catechism of the Catholic Church – beginning with the “ache” of human longing and ending with a vision of the Creed like you’ve never heard – and in the process demonstrates beyond any shadow of a doubt that Christianity is not the backward list of prohibitions it is so often assumed to be. Rather it’s the religion of desire that holds out to us the hope of infinite bliss and fulfillment. Each DVD set comes with one 56-page study guide.
Peter Burak
The Eucharist: Life or Death
Description: Jesus came to seek and save the lost. Faith, repentance, and obedience actually matter because our eternal destiny is in the balance. "Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life." (John 6:53) Jesus lovingly reveals the pathway to his Father and gives us the necessary food for the journey. The world needs to know the abundant power we have in the Eucharist so people can turn from darkness and live in the light of Christ.
