"The Holy Eucharist is the summit."

Nearly every Protestant prays the Lord's Prayer to one degree or another, yet regardless of their dedication to accurate interpretation, many skip right over the actual meaning of "our daily bread". The actual Greek words are "τὸν ἄρτον ἡμῶν τὸν ἐπιούσιον" (ton arton hēmōn ton epiousion). The actual meaning isn't "daily bread" in that we are praying for our next sandwich, it is "supersubstantial" bread, meaning the higher substance brought about by transubstantiation. In other words, the Eucharist. From His lips to our ears.

Peace be with you.

“...it is “supersubstantial” bread, meaning the higher substance brought about by transubstantiation...”

It is not about ‘transubstantiation’ or ‘transliteration’. Jesus said, ‘This is my body...’ and ‘This is my blood...’

It is...IT IS...it does not become, nor does it represent...it is My Body...it is My Blood...

When Catholics and Protestants and all Christians who are neither, fully understand that, the walls come down, and then it is time to rebuild the ‘walls’ according to God’s Plan, not any of our man-made plans.

And the peace of the Lord be also with you...
