We believe in the real presence of Jesus, who died for our sins. As we receiveChrist's Body and Blood, we also are nourished spiritually and brought closer to God.This is a ritual of healing appropriate not only for physical but also for mental and spiritual sickness.This is a public sign that one gives oneself totally to this other person.
