# Real Presence ## Catechism of the Catholic Church The unique, true presence of Christ in the Eucharist under the species or appearances of bread and wine. The Church invites the faithful to deepen their faith in the real presence of Christ through [[adoration]] and communion at the Eucharistic liturgy, and through [[adoration]] outside its celebration ([[2.2.1.3.p41#^ccc-1378|1378]]-[[2.2.1.3.p41#^ccc-1379|1379]]).
