Thank you for posting this thread! If anyone has any doubts as to the power of Christ present in the Eucharist, I strongly recommend that you read this.

There is a young Maronite Catholic priest in Ann Arbor, MI who 'evangeleizes' through Christ, Himself. Totally unpretentious in his approach, he is the first Catholic priest to bring a Monstrance and Consecrated Host into a prison system. The prisoners who were invited to attend this premier event, were not even catholic! Yet, Fr. Antonio believes so strongly in the mercy extended by our Lord, that he invited these men and women to sit in the "presence of our Lord". These stories will move your heart. Many were moved to tears, not understanding why. Within a few months, 31 prisoners asked to be baptized into the Catholic Church! You can read these stories at this link:

JESUS WAS THERE
