Interesting Story

I just read an article about alexandrina maria da costa. Apparently she survived on eathing nothing but the holy communion and wine for 12 years. Has anyone read this before?

I grew up Roman Catholic but left the church and am now non denominational. I still feel there are quite a few aspects of the church that I don't agree with. Eucharist and Christ real presence in it is one that I'm still unsure about. It is definitely possible if he really did want to be present there. Any thoughts guys/gals?

He definitely wants to be there. But not in the form of a cookie. Every time two or more are gathered in his name he is in the midst of them. It really isn't about all of these physical symbols, but it is about the spiritual and the eternal.
