I'm trying to bolster my faith in the aforementioned topics. I still haven't gotten over my priest telling me that the Blessed Sacrament wasn't literally Jesus. It really shook me. I think reading or listening to sermons from other priests would be helpful.

I don't have anything handy.  I'll give you a personal argument I've used:

Was Jesus naked when He appeared after His resurrection?  Obviously not.  Can linen pass through doors, appear and disappear?  Obviously not.  So we apparently have a contradiction.  Either He was naked, or He wasn't.  I don't think the disciples would have anything to do with a naked dude walking down the road to Emmaus.  They'd certainly have remarked on the strange circumstance in scripture.

So the Lord APPEARED in clothing, or to put it formally, the Lord's Glorified Body had the accidents of clothing.  It was an accident because it wasn't really clothing as they could appear and disappear.

So if the Lord's Glorified Body can have accidents of clothing, it can also have accidents of bread and wine.
"But he that doth not believe, is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God (Jn 3:18)."

"All sorrow leads to the foot of the Cross.  Weep for your sins."

"Although He should kill me, I will trust in Him"

And then we get into the scripture, "The Lamb as though He had been slain.".  The heretics must be befuddled by this.  But for those who hold the one true Catholic Faith, the explanation is simple.  For every particle of the bread species and every drop of the wine species IS the Body Blood Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, undivided.  The division being another accident of His Glorified Body, as He undoubtedly had accidents of separate sandals.

But they are also a sign presented to us.  The bread species is a sign for His Body, and the wine species is a sign for His Most Precious Blood.  And these species are presented to us separated, showing to us a slain sacrifice, the Blood shown separated from the Body.  And thus we see the Lamb as though He were slain.
"But he that doth not believe, is already judged: because he believeth not in the name of the only begotten Son of God (Jn 3:18)."

"All sorrow leads to the foot of the Cross.  Weep for your sins."

"Although He should kill me, I will trust in Him"

It's only 18:07 long, not sure it is exactly what you're asking for but it's all about faith, which sounds like your priest has none.
 
Even after a long life of sin, if the Christian receives the Sacrament of the dying with the appropriate dispositions, he will go straight to heaven without having to go to purgatory. - Fr. M. Philipon; This sacrament prepares man for glory immediately, since it is given to those who are departing from this life. - St. Thomas Aquinas; It washes away the sins that remain to be atoned, and the vestiges of sin; it comforts and strengthens the soul of the sick person, arousing in him a great trust and confidence in the divine mercy. Thus strengthened, he bears the hardships and struggles of his illness more easily and resists the temptation of the devil and the heel of the deceiver more readily; and if it be advantageous to the welfare of his soul, he sometimes regains his bodily health. - Council of Trent

"The World Must Conform to Our Lord and not He to it." Rev. Dennis Fahey CSSP

"My brothers, all of you, if you are condemned to see the triumph of evil, never applaud it. Never say to evil: you are good; to decadence: you are progess; to death: you are life. Sanctify yourselves in the times wherein God has placed you; bewail the evils and the disorders which God tolerates; oppose them with the energy of your works and your efforts, your life uncontaminated by error, free from being led astray, in such a way that having lived here below, united with the Spirit of the Lord, you will be admitted to be made but one with Him forever and ever: But he who is joined to the Lord is one in spirit." Cardinal Pie of Potiers
