Which Sacrament is not merely a symbol but Jesus' true flesh and blood?

• A. Intercession
• B. Gospel
• C. Eucharist
• D. Fortitude

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. In Catholic teaching, Jesus is truly present in the bread and wine during the Mass—his body and blood—so they become more than symbols, while still appearing as bread and wine. This direct presence means believers receive grace through this sacrament in a real way. The other terms aren’t about receiving Christ in the same sacramental sense: intercession involves praying for others, the Gospel is the written account of Jesus’ life, and fortitude is a virtue, not a sacrament. So the Eucharist is the correct choice.
