Welcome back to another episode of the Catholic Talk Show, and today we're lucky enough to be joined by Father Gregory Pine to discuss your Eucharistic character.

0:09.5

The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Catholic faith, and it's the one thing that separates Catholics from every other Christian on the earth.

0:15.5

Let's explore this more.

0:57.2

Music Well, Father Gregory, it's great to have you back. This is your third time on the show. You're in the exclusive three-peak club. Oh, thank you. I was hoping to be in an exclusive club. My first instinct was to hike the 46 high peaks of the Adirondack State Park, so that way I could order off the special menu of some of the restaurants in the region.

1:01.1

But then I realized that that entails a great outlay of effort.

1:14.0

So I thought by way of supplementing my otherwise broken heart and dashed ego, I could come on this show a third time. So thank you. Well, it's probably not as physically exerting, but I'm sure it's more mentally exerting to be out here three times

1:17.8

than hike 46 peaks. Thank you. And our secret menu isn't nearly as good. That'd be awesome.

1:25.3

If you made secret web pages on all of the websites that Fuzatti designed

1:29.8

and they were just for for fun and then you would reveal them to the owner of said websites like

1:36.2

six months in also like I made you a website where it's just photos of you made on mid journey

1:42.4

drinking smoothies so hop on in and have yourself a fun time. That'd be great. We're going to do it in all old church Slavonic. It's going to be wonderful. Yes. Right. The people have got. I like the way you think, Father Gregory. I like the way you think. You've got a fascinating and powerful mind. And I think it's great that you're being able to use that to

2:01.5

explore the Eucharist. Because like I said in the intro, the Eucharist is the source of summit.

2:06.4

It is Christ, present, body, blood, soul, and divinity. And it really is the safest and surest way to

2:13.0

heaven. But in our modern world, so many people don't quite understand the Eucharist. They disbelieve in the church's teaching on the Eucharist. And even if they tangentially or believe it culturally, they don't fully explore it to where they develop, like you said, a Eucharistic identities, where they're really allowing true communion, union with Christ through the Eucharist.

2:35.6

So it's wonderful to be able to talk about this. Now, before we get into it, everyone watching,

2:54.9

that. So, Father Gregory, tell me a little bit about what do you mean by a Eucharistic identity?

3:00.9

Great question. Okay, so the book kind of begins with not to like give you. Now I will tell you

3:06.5

in 40 minutes what you could otherwise
