Rediscovering the Real Presence
A deep dive into Jesus Thirsts: The Miracle of the Eucharist, the documentary that asks the question every Catholic eventually has to answer: is it really Him?
Jesus Thirsts: The Miracle of the Eucharist
Executive summary
The documentary Jesus Thirsts: The Miracle of the Eucharist examines the central mystery of the Catholic faith: the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.
It was prompted by recent national surveys showing that a majority of self-identified Catholics regard the Eucharist as merely a symbol. In response, the film sets out on a global exploration aimed at reviving Eucharistic devotion.
Key themes and highlights
The problem and the response
The film confronts the widespread loss of belief in the Real Presence among Catholics today, and traces the origins of the National Eucharistic Revival, showing how local, national, and international movements are working to rekindle that faith.
Scriptural and historical roots
Theologians and scholars follow the Eucharist as it is foreshadowed through salvation history: Melchizedek’s offering of bread and wine, the Passover in Exodus, the Last Supper, and Christ’s own explicit teaching in John 6.
Philosophical insight
The documentary unpacks the doctrine of Transubstantiation. The underlying reality, the substance, of the bread and wine is changed into the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ, while the physical appearances, the accidents, remain.
Global witness and personal testimony
Moving stories from around the world, including parish communities in Uganda, the Eucharistic miracles of Lanciano, Italy, and Sokółka, Poland, and testimonies from prison ministries and youth movements, show the transforming power of Eucharistic adoration and Holy Communion.
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.John 6:54
