Eucharist or Holy Communion
The Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist is the true Body and Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ, together with his Soul and Divinity, under the appearances of bread and wine.
It was given to us by Jesus at the Last Supper, when He gave His Body and Blood to His Apostles.
At every Mass, the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross is made present, and we receive His Body and Blood, so that we may be joined more closely to Him and to His Holy Church.
The Most Holy Eucharist is “the source and summit of the Christian life.”
