Question: "The Catholic doctrine states during the consecration, when the priest blesses the wine and bread during mass, the bread and wine change into the actual body and blood of Christ, even though their outward appearance remains the same"39. This is called transubstantiation.

Is transubstantiation true?

God’s answer:

This is My living flesh and blood.

Here God not only states that this is His flesh and blood but adds the word living. Thus, the bread and the wine is Christ in person.

The presence of God is always with us. Jesus never left us. This is the meaning of the name Emmanuel, meaning “God is with us”

1418

Question: How does transubstantiation happen?

God’s answer:

By My word

Meaning: During the Consecration, the priest re-enacts the scene from the Last Supper and repeats the words of Jesus.

“Take this all of you, and eat of it, this is My body which will be given up for you”; and “Take this all you and drink from it, this is My blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant, it will be shed for you and for all so that sins may be forgiven, do this in memory of Me.”

So, what God is saying is that when the priest repeats the words He spoke during the Last Supper, transubstantiation happens. Why? because He said so.
