DeepSummary
In this episode of Pints With Aquinas, Father Gregory Pine discusses the significance of the signs and symbols in the Eucharist. He explains that the Eucharist is not just a symbol but a sacrament that makes Christ present in a substantial way. The episode delves into the three principal signs of the Eucharist: exsanguination (the twofold consecration), nourishment (the bread and wine), and unity (one loaf, one chalice).
Father Pine elaborates on how these signs relate to the past (Christ's passion), the present (grace and virtues like charity), and the future (the union of the mystical body of Christ). He emphasizes the importance of understanding the true meaning of the sacraments and not merely reacting to opposing views but grasping the deeper truths they represent.
The episode concludes with Father Pine encouraging deeper eucharistic communion through a better understanding of the signs and symbols in the Eucharistic liturgy. He also mentions his upcoming book on the Eucharist and requests prayers for its completion.

Top Episodes Quotes
- “So in this year of eucharistic revival here in the United States, I thought that one way in which to encourage deeper eucharistic communion is to look at the various signs that are at work in the eucharistic liturgy, because it's precisely in and through those signs that Christ is sacramentally and substantially present for our worship and reception and eventual transformation.“ by Father Gregory Pine
- “So you can see that there is a sign value at work in the Eucharist. Because the Eucharist is a sacrament. It makes our Lord Jesus Christ presence sacramentally and substantially, because the words of institution signify not only that he is at work, but that he is present.“ by Father Gregory Pine
- “So while the person whom you're debating might say it's a symbol, you shouldn't so much say it's not a symbol as not only is it a symbol, but it's also a sacrifice. And I can show you, based on the tradition, you know, which relies on the church's scriptures, how this is so and how it conduces to the fullness of faith and the fullness of love.“ by Father Gregory Pine
