4. What did
Jesus do on
the night
before He
suffered?

5. At the Last
Supper, on the
night he was
betrayed, our
Savior instituted
the Eucharistic
Sacrifice of his
Body and Blood.

6. This he did in order to perpetuate the sacrifice of the
Cross throughout the ages until he should come again,
and so to entrust to his beloved Spouse, the Church:
• A memorial of his death and resurrection;
• A sacrament of love, a sign of unity, and
bond of charity;
• A paschal banquet in which Christ is
consumed, the mind is filled with grace;
and
• A pledge of future glory is given to us.

7. What are the
descriptive
definitions of
the Eucharist?

8. First, the Eucharist
was instituted by
Christ. He
established the
Eucharist at the
Last Supper, the
night before he
died on the Cross.
Secondly, the
Eucharist is
celebrated with
Christ by the
Christian
community, the
Church.

9. Thirdly, the Eucharist
is at once both
sacrifice and sacred
meal.
Fourthly, Christ himself
is really present in the
Eucharistic celebration
in multiple ways.
Finally, the Eucharist is
the eschatological pledge
and forestate of our future
glory.

10. What else do we
say about the
Eucharist?

11. The Eucharist is also essentially
the “sacrament of love, a sign of
unity, a bond of charity, a Paschal
Banquet.” Insititued by Christ
himself at the Last Supper, the
Eucharist was commonly known
among the early Christian
communities as “the Breaking of
Bread”.
Eucharist

12. This meant that all who
ate the one blessed,
broken Bread that is
Christ were drawn into
communion with him
and with one another to
form one single body
with him.
Thus, the book of Acts describes the
life of the first Christian
community:
“They devoted themselves to the
apostles’ instruction and the
communal life, to the breaking of
bread and the prayers” (Acts 2:42)

13. What are the
food and
drink in the
Eucharist?

15. Eucharist
Both bread and wine
exemplify the intristic
working-together of God and
ourselves in everything we
do. In the Old Covenant,
bread and wine were offered
in sacrifice among the first
fruits of the earth, in
acknowledging God as the
Creator of all.

16. Why do we use bread and
wine in the Eucharist?

17. Bread as “staff of human life” was
for the Jews a symbol of the
Torah, God’s law that shaped their
covenant lives. Christ, God’s
Wisdom Incarnate, goes beyond
the Law given through Moses, and
offers Himself as the “bread from
heaven”.

18. The unleavened bread used in
the Mass follows the Jewish
Passover meal, which
symbolized the hasty Exodus
from Egypt, the land of slavery,
to freedom.
Unleavened bread was
also a symbol of purity
and newness.

19. Wine was commonly used since Old
Testament times “to gladden men’s
hearts” and for medicinal purposes.
But in a larger sense, wine was related
to Israel as the vine planted by
Yahweh to yield choice grapes.

20. At the Last Supper,
christ proclaimed
Himself as the true
Vine whose fruit is
experienced in the
“wine of the Spirit”,
which would be
bestowed at
Pentecost.

21. How did Jesus nourish his disciples?

22. At the Last Supper, Christ broke the
customary silence of the Paschal Meal
by identifying the bread and wine with
His own body and blood. “Body and
blood” must be understood in the
Hebrew way of meaning the whole
person.

23. When we receive the Eucharist, then,
either the consecrated bread or
wine, we receive the whole living
Lord. Through the sacramental
signs we enter into intimate
communion with our Risen Savior.
And in communing with him in his
sacramental presence, we are
actually proclaiming that Jesus
Christ is Lord, to the glory of God
the Father.

26. Eucharist
The first effect of
receiving Holy
Commuion worthily
is to “unite us with
Christ”.
A second effect of Holy
Commuion is “to
separate us from sin”,
since receive Christ,
whose life-giving blood
was”poured out in behalf
of many for the
forgiveness of sins”.

27. To reconcile and be reconciled
is a major effect of the holy
Eucharist as the “sacrament
of love, a sign of unity, a
bond of charity.”
It brings us together around the
table of the Lord, uniting us in
sharing food and drink in a
sacred meal hosted by Christ
himself.

28. What is Holy
Communion?

29. While it is important to
nourish our bodies
with food, it is also
necessary to nourish
our sould. This can be
done by receiving the
body and blood of
Christ in the Sacrament
of the Holy Eucharist.
Christ is entirely
present under the
appearance of bread
or wine. We receive
Him whole and
entire under the
appearances either
of bread along or of
wine alone.

30. Holy Communion
The faithful receive Communion
most commonly under the
appearances of bread. The
reception of the Precious
Blood generally reserved
during special feasts or other
particular circumstances.
