What happens at every Mass? Catholics believe a miracle takes place on the altar.

In this episode, EWTN Vatican explores the Church's teaching on the Eucharist and the mystery of Christ's Real Presence. Through the words of consecration and the power of the Holy Spirit, bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ, making His sacrifice sacramentally present to the faithful.

Featuring insights from Fr. Michael Baggot, LC, theologian at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas, this report examines the biblical and theological foundations of the Eucharist, including Jesus' Bread of Life discourse in the Gospel of John and the faith of St. Peter.

The story also takes viewers to Rome's Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas (the Angelicum), where students, professors, and clergy recently marked 25 years of student-led Eucharistic adoration with a Corpus Christi procession led by Cardinal Dominique Mamberti, Prefect of the Apostolic Signatura.

Hear reflections from Cardinal Mamberti, Dominican Father Thomas Joseph White, OP, Rector of the Angelicum, and theology student Marcia Vanderstraaten on how Eucharistic devotion continues to transform lives and strengthen faith today.
