**All of the Teachings especially Concerning THE REAL PRESENCE of the EUCHARIST are supported by the Early Church fathers.**

Your selection of the ‘early church fathers’ is subject to scutiny. Their words could have been ‘revised’ by the ‘victors’.

Maybe you can tell me what other RCs can’t:

If the ‘eucharist’ is eaten for eternal life, why the repetition?
Does it wear off?
If so, why does it wear off?
If it wears off, does one know when it has worn off?
One time doesn’t have the power to get the job done?

Why is there no detailed written ‘eucharist’ instruction from Peter in his recorded instances of converting souls in Acts chapters 2,8,and 10, or in his epistles? If it is for eternal life, it should be right smack in the middle of Acts 2:38.

Transubstantiation takes place at the blessing of Gifts then the Bread and Wine are separately offered up to God in thanksgiving in the celebration of the Liturgy of the Eucharist. We then Say the LORDS Prayer or Our Father depending on your label. During the Prayer jesus Taught the Apostle when they wanted to learn how to pray to the Father.
a Phrase in the Prayer is “Give us this Day our daily Bread”
In The Old Testament it was Mana in the New testament it was Christ who came from Heaven

Read Chapter 6 of JOHN take notice of what Jesus Says about BREAD of LIFE eating his Body and those that reject it!

When you take Communion (Eucharist) Jesus becomes part of you stronger and stronger each time you consume him. if you fall from Grace through Mortal sin that is where Reconciliation comes in CONFESSION. In the Bible Christ said Whose sins you shall forgive they are Forgiven and whose sins you shall retain they are retained.

To answer your Question Christ becomes Grafted into you more and more that is why he recommends Daily Communion like the Lords Prayer!
