![It's true.
Before He died, Jesus made a way for us to be physically present with Him, and He, with us.
Yes, Jesus is in our heart and all around us spiritually- but if you had the oppurtunity to go and see Him- TRULY see Him- physically there, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity, and be in His presence- would you go?
You can. Search for that Catholic Church in Google maps and go sit with Him. Be with Him.
At the front of the Church, there's a gold box- it's a Tabernacle- the place where Jesus, present in the Eucharist is kept safe and dwells, waiting for us to come and visit Him and ultimately, receive Him at every Mass.
If you see a candle lit near the Tabernacle (usually it's red!) you'll know that Jesus is there 🤍

EXPLANATIONS FROM THE EARLY CHURCH FATHERS:
Saint Augustine: “What you see is the bread and the chalice; that is what your own eyes report to you. But what your faith obliges you to accept is that the bread is the body of Christ and the chalice is the blood of Christ” (ibid., 272).
Saint Irenaeus:“If the Lord were from other than the Father, how could he rightly take bread, which is of the same creation as our own, and confess it to be his body and affirm that the mixture in the cup is his blood?” (Against Heresies 4:33–32 [A.D. 189]).
