A priest doesn't "make a wafer into Jesus." A priest celebrates the Sacred Eucharist, and in the course of the Canon (Eucharistic Prayer) invokes the Holy Spirit over the elements (the bread and wine) - this is called the epiklesis (the invocation of the Holy Spirit said by the celebrant of the Mass), then he leans over the Host (the bread) and pronounces the words of consecration. It is at this instance that the entire substance of the bread is transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit into the Body and Blood of Christ.

Catholics believe in the doctrine of transubstantiation, which teaches that during the Eucharist, the bread and wine are transformed into the actual body and blood of Jesus Christ, while still retaining the appearance of bread and wine. This is based on the belief in the priest's power to act in persona Christi, or in the person of Christ, during the sacrament of the Eucharist.
