Which term refers to the true presence of Jesus Christ in body, blood, spirit, and divinity?

• A. Blasphemy
• B. Eucharist
• C. The Resurrection of Christ
• D. Paschal Mystery

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. The term that names this belief and the sacrament through which Jesus is truly present—body and blood, with the full reality of divinity—is the Eucharist. In Catholic teaching, after the consecration, the bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ while retaining their outward appearances; this is the true presence believers receive in Holy Communion. The other terms refer to different concepts: blasphemy is an insult to God; the Resurrection is Jesus’ rising from the dead; the Paschal Mystery refers to the saving events of Jesus’ passion, death, and resurrection—which is related to the Eucharist but not the label for the presence itself.
