Our theme this year: the Mass

Eucharist: "the source and summit of life of the Church." (ccc 1407); the sacrificial death and Resurrection of Jesus is both remembered and renewed.

The word Eucharist comes from a Greek word meaning thanksgiving. The Eucharist has many names: The Lord's Supper, the Holy Sacrifice, the Holy and Divine Liturgy, Holy Communion, the Mass, etc. It is symbolized by wheat bread and grape wine and the words of consecration.

As Catholics we believe we actually receive Jesus Christ - physically and spiritually - when we receive the consecreated bread and wine which becomes the body and blood of Jesus Christ. In our celebration of the Eucharistic Liturgy, we are united across time and space with the communion of saints, who are praising God on earth and in heaven. Through the words and action of the priest, Jesus himself is blessing the bread and wine. Jesus is making his body and blood present in the form of bread and wine.

It isn't that we are re-sacrificing Jesus, but making his original sacrifice real and present during the sacramental ritual.

"For as often as you eat this bread and drink the chalice, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes." 1Cor 11:26

"If I am asked how bread is changed into the Body of Christ, I answer: 'The Holy Spirit overshadows the priest and operates in the same manner in the elements which he effected in the womb of the Virgin Mary.'" St. John of Damascus

"So Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up to the last day.'" John 6 53-54
