Abstract
ABSTRACT:How can the infinite God be present in the Eucharistic species? In Christ's humanity? How is God perceptible in the world? Human love joins limitless commitment to finite persons. God's omnipotence is manifest in love's experience, actualizing human freedom, establishing supreme unity in the greatest diversity. Since love is creation's ultimate mystery, philosophy's conundrums about the One and the Many, the infinite and the finite, etc., which reappear in modern physics, reflect that mystery. For reason to make sense, faith must accept love's mystery. God's personal presence in the Eucharist, His self-giving, forbids its use for ecumenical goals or "consciousness-raising." The Eucharist effects salvation since, receiving Jesus, Love incarnate, men share God's very life, stronger than death and sin.
