Roman Catholic AnswerEverywhere. Jesus is present in the people present, through virtue of their baptism and belief. He is present in the Tabernacle in the Sacred Species (the Host). He is present in the Scriptures, especially when they are proclaimed at Mass during the readings. He is present in the person of the priest through his ordination. And finally, and in all reality, He is present on the altar, made present through His love for us, and the words of Consecration.

Part of the mass in which the death and resurrection of Christ are made present again?

The Eucharist


Do you believe when the priest celebrate the mass is a christ himself who is administering the sacrament?

No, as we believe that there is only one Christ who died once and for all. The celebration of the mass is merely a recreation of Calvary in our present time. Contrary to some protestant beliefs, we are not resacrificing Christ, but because God is a non-temporal being the sacrifice of Calvary is ever-present. But, more to the point of your question: No, the priest is not "a christ", but rather what is called "in persona christi" meaning "In the person of Christ".
