BALTIMORE CATECHISM LESSON TWENTY-SECOND: On the Holy Eucharist Q. 878. How do we know that it is possible to change one substance into another? A. We know that it is possible to change one substance into another, because: 1. God changed water into blood during the plagues of Egypt. 2. Christ changed water into wine at the marriage of Cana. 3. Our own food is daily changed into the substance of our flesh and blood; and what God does gradually, He can also do instantly by an act of His will. Q. 879. Are these changes exactly the same as the changes that take place in the Holy Eucharist? A. These changes are not exactly the same as the changes that take place in the Holy Eucharist, for in these changes the appearance also is changed, but in the Holy Eucharist only the substance is changed while the appearance remains the same. Q. 880. How do we show that Christ did change bread and wine into the substance of His body and blood? Events at Mater Ecclesiae Sunday, September 11 17 th Sunday After Pentecost Tuesday, September 13 Confessions 8 PM to 9 PM Thursday, September 15 Mass at 7:00 AM Sunday, September 18 18 th Sunday After Pentecost Tuesday, September 20 Confessions 8 PM to 9 PM Wednesday, September 21 Ember Day Friday, September 23 Ember Day Saturday, September 24 Ember Day Sunday, September 25 Nineteenth Sunday After Pentecost Tuesday, September 27 Confessions 8 PM to 9 PM A. We show that Christ did change bread and wine into the substance of His body and blood: 1. From the words by which He promised the Holy Eucharist; 2. From the words by which He instituted the Holy Eucharist; 3. From the constant use of the Holy Eucharist in the Church since the time of the Apostles; 4. From the impossibility of denying the Real Presence in the Holy Eucharist, without likewise denying all that Christ has taught and done; for we have stronger proofs for the Holy Eucharist than for any other Christian truth.
