"WE REFLECT
We are accustomed to talking and hearing about the ‘Real Presence’: this expression normally refers to the reserved Eucharistic sacrament, which is kept in the tabernacle in the church. This phrase states our belief that
Jesus is truly present in the consecrated bread and wine. However, it may give the impression that this is the only way in which Jesus is here among us.
One of the reforms of the liturgy at Vatican II was to recommend the removal of the tabernacle from the high altar to a side chapel. Some people took this as a lack of respect for the Blessed Sacrament, but the directive was making an important point. When the community assembles to celebrate the Eucharist together, Christ is present in the congregation in as valid a way as in the consecrated bread and wine. Hence there should be no genuflection to the tabernacle, as Christ is present among his disciples in just as real, though different, a way. Jesus tells us that where two or three gather in his name, he is “in their midst”.
Christ is present in other ways, for instance, when we pray, when we read the Scriptures, when we minister to our brothers and sisters. Jesus tells us that he and the Father are one, and so God’s presence is mediated to the disciple through him. In this way, Jesus himself is the Real Presence, and he and God are not confined to any building or ritual."
