“Then he took the bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me.’ And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which will be shed for you.”
Luke 22:19-20
The Eucharist (Holy Communion) is the Sacrament of the Lord's Body and Blood.
The bread and wine through Transubstantiation become the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ.
Receiving the Eucharist allows us to deepen our personal relationship with Jesus and nourishes our soul, helping us to become like Christ.
We receive the Real Presence of Jesus when we receive Holy Communion.
