The document provides an overview of key aspects of the Eucharist according to the Catholic Church's Catechism. It discusses how the Eucharist unites believers more closely to Christ and incorporates them into the Church. It also describes how the Eucharist renews the memory of Christ's passion and sacrifice, and is both a memorial of his death and resurrection and an anticipation of his second coming. Furthermore, it explains how through the Eucharist, Christ nourishes believers with his body to strengthen their communion with God and their incorporation into the Church.
Faith is our personal response and acceptance of Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. It involves believing in God as revealed by Jesus Christ and through the Catholic Church. Faith is central to human relationships and involves trusting in others. For Christians, faith is adhering to the Triune God through belief in Jesus Christ. It is a total commitment to God that is loving, maturing, and impels us to share our faith with others through evangelization.
This document summarizes a chapter about the Apostolic Church from a confirmation class. It discusses that the Apostolic period was the time when the Apostles spread the Gospel after Pentecost. Key events included the Church transitioning from a Jewish to Gentile faith and leadership passing to bishops. The document also describes how the Council of Jerusalem decided non-Jews could convert without circumcision. It highlights the missions of St. Paul and St. Peter in spreading Christianity.
This document discusses methods for catechetical instruction and transmission of the faith. It outlines a 7-step method for catechesis: 1) preparation through prayer; 2) proclaiming the message; 3) explaining the message through active learning; 4) application to life; 5) opportunities for integration of faith and life; 6) concluding in prayerful gratitude; 7) assessing learning through doing, responding, and retaining lessons. It emphasizes engaging multiple intelligences and making lessons accessible to diverse learners. The overall goal is for learners to encounter God, understand the faith more deeply, and choose to live it through conversion.

The document contains the prayer of St. Augustine asking God to help him know and love only God. It asks God to help him humble himself, think only of God, cling to nothing but God, and enjoy God forever. It also contains questions about the meaning and importance of the Ten Commandments and how following them can help one become an authentic disciple of Jesus Christ.
The document discusses the history and doctrines of Roman Catholicism. It claims that unlike some Christian groups, Catholics can trace their origins to the original New Testament church. However, over time the Roman Catholic Church became increasingly corrupt and paganized after 325 AD. A key issue is that Catholicism bases authority on apostolic succession and tradition rather than solely on scripture. The document argues several Catholic doctrines like prayers to saints, transubstantiation, and sacramentalism have no biblical basis and instead nullify the word of God.

DOGMATIC CONSTITUTION ON THE CHURCH
LUMEN GENTIUM
SOLEMNLY PROMULGATED BY HIS HOLINESS
POPE PAUL VI
ON NOVEMBER 21, 1964
CHAPTER I
THE MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH
1. Christ is the Light of nations. Because this is so, this Sacred Synod gathered together in the Holy Spirit
eagerly desires, by proclaiming the Gospel to every creature,(1) to bring the light of Christ to all men, a light
brightly visible on the countenance of the Church. Since the Church is in Christ like a sacrament or as a sign
and instrument both of a very closely knit union with God and of the unity of the whole human race, it
desires now to unfold more fully to the faithful of the Church and to the whole world its own inner nature
and universal mission. This it intends to do following faithfully the teaching of previous councils. The
presentday conditions of the world add greater urgency to this work of the Church so that all men, joined
more closely today by various social, technical and cultural ties, might also attain fuller unity in Christ.
2. The eternal Father, by a free and hidden plan of His own wisdom and goodness, created the whole world.
His plan was to raise men to a participation of the divine life. Fallen in Adam, God the Father did not leave
men to themselves, but ceaselessly offered helps to salvation, in view of Christ, the Redeemer "who is the
image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature".(2) All the elect, before time began, the Father
"foreknew and pre destined to become conformed to the image of His Son, that he should be the firstborn
among many brethren".(3) He planned to assemble in the holy Church all those who would believe in Christ.
Already from the beginning of the world the foreshadowing of the Church took place. It was prepared in a
remarkable way throughout the history of the people of Israel and by means of the Old Covenant.(1*) In the
present era of time the Church was constituted and, by the outpouring of the Spirit, was made manifest. At
the end of time it will gloriously achieve completion, when, as is read in the Fathers, all the just, from Adam
and "from Abel, the just one, to the last of the elect,"(2*) will be gathered together with the Father in the
universal Church.
3. The Son, therefore, came, sent by the Father. It was in Him, before the foundation of the world, that the
Father chose us and predestined us to become adopted sons, for in Him it pleased the Father to reestablish
all things.(4) To carry out the will of the Father, Christ inaugurated the Kingdom of heaven on earth and
revealed to us the mystery of that kingdom. By His obedience He brought about redemption. The Church, or,
in other words, the kingdom of Christ now present in mystery, grows visibly through the power of God in the
world. This inauguration and this growth are both symbolized by the blood and water which flowed from the
open side of a crucified Jesus,(5).
The document provides information about the Catholic sacrament of the Eucharist from various Church documents and biblical passages. It discusses the centrality of the Eucharist according to Vatican II, the roots of the Eucharist in the Last Supper story and Jewish meals, the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, and the various names and parts of the Mass.
The document provides information about the Catholic sacrament of the Eucharist from various Church documents and biblical passages. It discusses the centrality of the Eucharist according to Vatican II, the Last Supper roots, Jesus' real presence, and how Christ is present. Key aspects of the Mass like the liturgy of the word and Eucharist are explained. Reforms from Vatican II to the Mass are also noted.
Christ descended from divine glory to take on human form and die on the cross for our salvation. His self-emptying and obedience led to his crucifixion on Good Friday. While this was an act of humiliation, the Father exalted Christ by raising him from the dead. At the name of Jesus, all creation will acknowledge his lordship and glorify God the Father through confessing that Jesus Christ is Lord.
The document discusses the Christian liturgy as the participation of God's people in the work of God through Christ and the Church. It describes how the liturgy involves the action of the Holy Trinity and encompasses elements like the sacraments, the liturgical year, Mary and the saints. It emphasizes that full participation requires knowledge, self-offering through prayer and good works, and applying the liturgy's lessons to daily life.
Eucharistic Adoration - History And EtiquettePaul Stokell
This presentation serves as the basis for a multi-part discussion on the history and theology behind the worship of the Blessed Sacrament (the Eucharist) by Roman Catholics, and the etiquette and practices that take place during Eucharistic worship. This is best used for advance reading and discussion, as opposed to a single (and very lengthy) presentation.
The document outlines the basic forms of prayer in the Catholic Church as described in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. It discusses the five main types of prayer: blessing and adoration, petition, intercession, thanksgiving, and praise. For each type of prayer there are explanations of their meanings, origins in scripture, and examples from the lives of Jesus, saints, and early Christian communities.
The document discusses the Church as the communion of saints, which has two meanings: communion in holy things like teachings, sacraments, and prayers; and communion with holy people, both living members on earth and deceased members in heaven. It describes how Christians are sanctified by the Holy Spirit and joined together in faith and baptism. The communion of saints includes sharing spiritual gifts, material goods, and charity with one another both in this life and the next.
Eucharistic Miracles - Joan Carroll CruzJasterRogueII
The document discusses Eucharistic miracles, beginning with quotes from the Bible about the institution of the Eucharist. It then describes a specific Eucharistic miracle that occurred in 1730 in Siena, Italy, where consecrated hosts that were stolen were later found intact and fresh after 250 years. The document provides context on the Catholic Church's teaching on transubstantiation and the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
THE KINGDOM OF GOD 3 - ACCORDING TO THE CATECHISM.pptxMartin M Flynn
The document provides an overview of key concepts regarding the Kingdom of God according to the Catechism. It discusses how Jesus revealed the mysteries of the Kingdom to the humble and inaugurated the Kingdom on earth through his life, death, and Resurrection. It also addresses how the Church is the seed and beginning of the Kingdom, and how sacraments like Baptism and the Eucharist connect believers to the Kingdom. Finally, it notes that all people are called to enter the Kingdom through accepting Christ's word and experiencing conversion.
The document discusses the Paschal Mystery, which refers to Christ's passion, death, resurrection, and ascension. It is considered a mystery because it is beyond full human understanding. The Paschal Mystery is celebrated through the sacraments, which make Christ's life, death, and resurrection present through visible signs. The key sacraments discussed are Baptism, which makes one a Christian through dying to sin and rising to new life, and the Eucharist, in which Christ is truly present through the bread and wine as a remembrance of his sacrifice. Liturgy, especially the Mass, is the public worship that brings the Christian community together to participate in these sacraments.
The document is a homily given on the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ (Corpus Christi). It discusses how both the Old Testament and New Testament readings for the day involve covenants ratified by blood. In the Old Testament, Moses sprinkled blood to ratify God's covenant with Israel. In the New Testament, Jesus instituted the Eucharist and said his blood was shed to establish the new covenant. The homily argues that just as the blood in the Old Testament was real, so too is the body and blood of Christ in the Eucharist real and not merely symbolic. Receiving communion means internally taking in Christ's blood and standing in a blood covenant with God.
This document is a letter written to "My Dear Children" discussing various topics related to Advent and preparing for Christmas. It includes summaries of the Sunday Gospel reading about being prepared for Christ's return, explanations of the "O Antiphons" sung in the days leading up to Christmas Eve, and brief overviews of the first four sacraments - Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, and Confession/Penance. The letter provides spiritual guidance and teachings to help the readers observe Advent and understand key Catholic doctrines.
The document discusses the Catholic sacraments, particularly Confirmation. It provides scriptural references for Confirmation from the Old and New Testaments. There are six effects of Confirmation: it imprints a character, enriches one with the Holy Spirit, binds one more perfectly to the Church, strengthens one, and obliges one to spread and defend the faith through word and deed as a witness to Christ. The requirements for valid Confirmation are to be baptized, properly instructed, and able to renew one's baptismal promises. The ordinary minister is the bishop, who performs the sacrament through imposition of hands and anointing with chrism.
HOLY EUCHARIST and BASIC CATECHISM OF THE HOLY MASSguestd30f808
The document provides an overview of key aspects of the Holy Eucharist in Catholicism. It discusses how the Eucharist was instituted by Jesus at the Last Supper, where he took bread and wine and said it was his body and blood. It is considered the center of Catholic worship and life, as Catholics believe in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. The document also outlines the various parts of the Catholic mass including readings, homily, preparation of gifts, Eucharistic prayer, communion, and concluding rites.
The document provides information about the Eucharistic Revival, which seeks to renew the Catholic Church by inspiring a deeper devotion to Christ's real presence in the Eucharist. It explains that the Eucharist is the source of healing and hope for both the Church and the world. The revival aims to show Catholics the truth of the real presence and encourage them to encounter Jesus in the Eucharist, so that they may be healed, converted, and sent forth on mission. It is intended not as a program but as a movement inviting the faithful to a living relationship with Christ in the Eucharist.
Jesus was instituting the lord's supperGLENN PEASE
This is a study of Jesus instituting the Lord's Supper. He made it a perpetual memorial for His church. Every believer is expected to do this in remembrance of Jesus and His sacrifice for them.
He teaches my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

2. Christ has
become
the head of
this people,
which
henceforth
Is His Body.
Lumen Gentium 6
CIC 753
THE CHURCH
The mystical
body of Christ
3. The faithful (sancti)
are fed by Christ's holy
body and blood (sancta)
to grow in the communion of
the Holy Spirit (koinonia) to
communicate it to the world.
- CCC948
4. Those who receive the Eucharist are united more closely to Christ. Through it
Christ unites them to all the faithful in one body - the Church. Communion renews,
strengthens, and deepens this incorporation into the Church, already achieved by
Baptism. In Baptism we have been called to form but one body.230 The Eucharist
fulfills this call: "The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation
in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation in
the body of Christ? Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body,
for we all partake of the one bread:" CCC 1396
The unity of
the Mystical Body
the Eucharist
makes the Church.
5. In an ancient prayer the Church acclaims the mystery of the Eucharist: "O sacred banquet in which
Christ is received as food, the memory of his Passion is renewed, the soul is filled with grace and
a pledge of the life to come is given to us." If the Eucharist is the memorial of the Passover of the Lord
Jesus, if by our communion at the altar we are filled "with every heavenly blessing and grace,"239
then the Eucharist is also an anticipation of the heavenly glory. CCC 1402
"PLEDGE OF
THE GLORY
TO COME"
6. At the Last Supper the Lord
himself directed his disciples'
attention toward the fulfillment
of the Passover in the kingdom of God:
"I tell you I shall not drink
again of this fruit of the vine
until that day when I drink it
new with you in my Father's
kingdom.”
Whenever the Church
celebrates the Eucharist she
remembers this promise and turns
her gaze "to him who is to come."
In her prayer she calls for his coming:
"Marana tha!" "Come, Lord
Jesus!"241 "May your grace come
and this world pass away!”
CCC 1403
7. The Church knows that the Lord comes even now in his Eucharist and that he is there in our midst.
However, his presence is veiled. Therefore we celebrate the Eucharist "awaiting the blessed hope
and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ," asking "to share in your glory when every tear
will be wiped away. On that day we shall see you, our God, as you are.
We shall become like you and praise you for ever through Christ our Lord.” CCC 1404
8. There is no surer pledge or
dearer sign of this great
hope in the new heavens
and new earth "in which
righteousness dwells
than the Eucharist.
Every time
this mystery
is celebrated,
"the work of our
redemption is
carried on
and we break
the one bread
that provides the
medicine of immortality,
the antidote for death,
and the food that makes us
live for ever in Jesus Christ.” CCC 1405
9. Nourished with his body in the Eucharist, we already belong to the Body of Christ.
When we rise on the last day we "also will appear with him in glory”Col 3,4 CIC 1003
10. The Spirit prepares men and
goes out to them with his grace,
in order to draw them to Christ.
The Spirit manifests the risen Lord
to them, recalls his word to them
and opens their minds to the
understanding of his
Death and Resurrection.
He makes present the mystery of
Christ, supremely in the Eucharist,
in order to reconcile them, to bring
them into communion with God,
that they may "bear much fruit.”
(Jn 15,5.8.16). CIC 737
11. "In virtue of their
rebirth in Christ there
exists among all the
Christian faithful
a true equality
with regard to dignity
and the activity
whereby all cooperate
in the building up of
the Body of Christ
in accord with each
one's own condition
and function."
LG 32 CIC 872
12. "The cup of blessing which
we bless, is it not a
participation in
the blood of Christ?
The bread which we break,
is it not a participation in
the body of Christ?
Because there is one bread,
we who are many are one
body, for we all partake of
the one bread:" (1 Co 10,16-17):
CCC 1396
Communion renews,
strengthens, and deepens
this incorporation into the Church,
already achieved by Baptism.
In Baptism we have been called
to form but one body.
The Eucharist fulfills this call:
13. MATERIALS
AND SIGNS
“The signs of bread
and wine become,
in a way surpassing
understanding, the
Body and Blood of
Christ; they continue
also to signify the
goodness of creation.
Thus in the Offertory
we give thanks to the
Creator for bread and
wine, fruit of the
"work of human
hands," but above all
as "fruit of the earth"
and "of the vine" -
gifts of the Creator.
CCC 1333
14. unless a grain
of wheat falls
to the ground
and dies,
it remains only
a single seed.
But if it dies,
it produces
many seeds.
Juan 12,24
MATERIALS
AND SIGNS
15. “I am the vine;
you are the
branches.
If you remain
in me and I in you,
you will bear
much fruit;
apart from me you
can do nothing.
Jn 15,5
16. At the heart of the
Eucharistic celebration
are the bread and wine
that, by the words of Christ
and the invocation of
the Holy Spirit, become
Christ's Body and Blood.
Faithful to the Lord's
command the Church
continues to do,
in his memory and until his
glorious return, what he
did on the eve
of his Passion:
"He took bread. . . ."
"He took the cup
filled with wine. . .
17. Jesus "gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according
to the will of our God and Father. (Gal 1,4) "And by that will we have been
sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. (Hb 10,10). CIC 2824
18. THE HOLY GRAIL
The relic consists in the upper part, which is a cup
of agatha, finely polished, which shows strains of
bright colours when it refracts the light. It is the
precious “Alexandrine cup” that the archeologists
consider to be of oriental origin,
about 100 to 50 beforer Christ.
The traditión tells us that it is the same Cup
our Lord used in the Last Supper for
the institution of the Eucharist.
It was later brougth to Rome by St Peter and
the succeeding popes kept it until Saint Sixtus II,
who because of the mediation of the deacon
Saint Lawrence, or Spanish origin,
sent it to his native land of Huesca in the
III century to free it from the persecutión
of the emperor Valerian.
The phrase from the Roman Canon suggests
the permanencie of the Holy Grial in Rome:
“he took THIS glorious chalice”,
hoc praeclarum calicem; an expression of
admiration which is not found in other ancient
anáforas, and we cannot forget that the Roman
Eucharistic prayer is a latin version of another
in Greek, which was proper to the Church
of Rome since pope Saint Dámaso
in the V century.
19. “Those who
eat my flesh
and drink
my blood
abide in me,
and I
in them”.
(Jn 6,56). CIC 787
20. .
"At the Last Supper, on the night he was betrayed, our Savior instituted the Eucharistic sacrifice
of his Body and Blood. 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,
a 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.‘” SC 47, CCC 1323
21. We can adore the Father because he has caused us to be reborn to his life by adopting us as his children
in his only Son: by Baptism, he incorporates us into the Body of his Christ; through the anointing of his
Spirit who flows from the head to the members, he makes us other "Christs.“ God, indeed, who has
predestined us to adoption as his sons, has conformed us to the glorious Body of Christ. So then you
who have become sharers in Christ are appropriately called "Christs. [San Cirilo de Jerusalén] CIC 2782
22. The Eucharist contains and expresses all forms of prayer: it is "the pure offering"
of the whole Body of Christ to the glory of God's name and, according to
the traditions of East and West, it is the "sacrifice of praise.". CCC 2643
23. the Eucharist is the sum and summary of our faith:
Our way of thinking is attuned to the Eucharist, and
the Eucharist in turn confirms our way of thinking. CCC 1327
24. The Lord, having loved those
who were his own, loved them
to the end. Knowing that the
hour had come to leave this
world and return to the Father,
in the course of a meal he washed
their feet and gave them the
commandment of love. In order
to leave them a pledge of this love,
in order never to depart from his
own and to make them sharers in
his Passover, he instituted the
Eucharist as the memorial of his
death and Resurrection, and
commanded his apostles to
celebrate it until his return;
"thereby he constituted
them priests of
the New Testament.“
CCC 1337
25. "Do this in memory of me"
The command of Jesus to repeat his
actions and words "until he comes"
does not only ask us to remember
Jesus and what he did.
It is directed at the liturgical celebration,
by the apostles and their successors,
of the memorial of Christ, of his life,
of his death, of his Resurrection,
and of his intercession in
the presence of the Father. CCC 1341
From the beginning the Church has
been faithful to the Lord's command.
Of the Church of Jerusalem it is written:
They devoted themselves to the apostles'
teaching and fellowship, to the breaking
of bread and the prayers. . . . Day by day,
attending the temple together and breaking
bread in their homes, they partook of food
with glad and generous hearts. CCC 1342
26. Thus from celebration to celebration, as
they proclaim the Paschal mystery of
Jesus "until he comes," the pilgrim
People of God advances, "following the
narrow way of the cross,“ toward
the heavenly banquet, when
all the elect will be seated at the
table of the kingdom. CCC 1344
It was above all on "the first day of the week,"
Sunday, the day of Jesus' resurrection, that the
Christians met "to break bread.“ From that time
on down to our own day the celebration of the
Eucharist has been continued so that today we
encounter it everywhere in the Church with the
same fundamental structure. It remains
the center of the Church's life. CCC 1343
27. Called the Lord's Supper,
because of its connection with the supper
which the Lord took with his disciples
on the eve of his Passion and because it
anticipates the wedding feast of the Lamb
in the heavenly Jerusalem CCC 1329
Names of
the sacrament
28. Called Eucharist,
because it is an action of thanksgiving to God.
The Greek words eucharistein and eulogein
recall the Jewish blessings that proclaim -
especially during a meal –
God's works: creation,
redemption, and sanctification.
29. Called the Breaking of Bread,
because Jesus used this rite, part of a Jewish meal when as master of the
table he blessed and distributed the bread, above all at the Last Supper.
It is by this action that his disciples will recognize him after his Resurrection,
and it is this expression that the first Christians will use to designate their Eucharistic
assemblies;by doing so they signified that all who eat the one broken bread, Christ,
enter into communion with him and form but one body in him CCC 1329
30. "The Eucharist is
the efficacious sign
and sublime cause of that
communion in the divine life
and that unity of
the People of God
by which the Church
is kept in being.
It is the culmination
both of God's action
sanctifying the world in Christ
and of the worship men offer to
Christ and through him to the
Father in the Holy Spirit.
St. Irenaeus, Adv. haeres. 4, 18, 5: PG 7/l,
1028. CCC 1325
31. The Eucharist is
the memorial of
Christ's Passover,
the making
present and the
sacramental offering
of his unique sacrifice,
in the liturgy
of the Church
which is his Body.
In all the Eucharistic
Prayers we find after
the words of institution
a prayer called the
anamnesis or memorial
CCC 1362
32. The mystical communion
with his body - Dalí
by the Eucharistic celebration we already unite ourselves
with the heavenly liturgy and anticipate eternal life,
when God will be all in all. CCC1326 cf Lk 22,19; 1 Cor 11,24
33. THE FIRST MASSES OF
THE FIRST CHRISTIANS
As early as the second century we have the
witness of St. Justin Martyr for the basic
lines of the order of the Eucharistic celebration.
They have stayed the same until our own day
for all the great liturgical families. St. Justin
wrote to the pagan emperor Antoninus Pius
(138-161) around the year 155, explaining
what Christians did: - On the day we call
the day of the sun, all who dwell in the city
or country gather in the same place. -
The memoirs of the apostles and the writings
of the prophets are read, as much as time
permits. - When the reader has finished,
he who presides over those gathered
admonishes and challenges them to imitate
these beautiful things. - Then we all rise
together and offer prayers* for ourselves . .
.and for all others, wherever they may be,
so that we may be found righteous by our life
and actions, and faithful to the commandments,
so as to obtain eternal salvation.
34. -When the prayers are concluded we exchange the kiss. - Then someone brings bread and a cup of water
-and wine mixed together to him who presides over the brethren. - He takes them and offers praise and glory to
-the Father of the universe, through the name of the Son and of the Holy Spirit and for a considerable time
-he gives thanks (in Greek: eucharistian) that we have been judged worthy of these gifts.
When he has concluded the prayers and thanksgivings, all present give voice to an acclamation by saying: 'Amen.'
When he who presides has given thanks and the people have responded, those whom we call deacons give
to those present the "eucharisted" bread, wine and water and take them to those who are absent. CCC 1345
35. Parts of
the mass
The liturgy of the Eucharist unfolds according to a fundamental structure
which has been preserved throughout the centuries down to our own day.
It displays two great parts that form a fundamental unity:
36. 1 – preparation;
the gathering,
the liturgy of the Word,
with readings, homily
and general intercessions;
37. 2 - the liturgy of the Eucharist,
with the presentation of the bread and wine,
the consecratory thanksgiving, and communion.
39. It is by the conversion of the bread and wine into Christ's body and blood that Christ
becomes present in this sacrament. The Church Fathers strongly affirmed the faith
of the Church in the efficacy of the Word of Christ and of the action of
the Holy Spirit to bring about this conversion. CCC 1375
40. The Council of Trent summarizes the Catholic faith by declaring: "Because Christ our Redeemer said
that it was truly his body that he was offering under the species of bread, it has always been the conviction
of the Church of God, and this holy Council now declares again, that by the consecration of the bread
and wine there takes place a change of the whole substance of the bread into the substance of the body
of Christ our Lord and of the whole substance of the wine into the substance of his blood. This change
the holy Catholic Church has fittingly and properly called transubstantiation." CCC1376
41. Thanksgiving characterizes the prayer of the Church which, in celebrating the
Eucharist, reveals and becomes more fully what she is. Indeed, in the work of
salvation, Christ sets creation free from sin and death to consecrate it anew
and make it return to the Father, for his glory. The thanksgiving of
the members of the Body participates in that of their Head. CCC 2637
42. The Eucharist,
the sacrament of our salvation
accomplished by Christ on the cross,
is also a sacrifice of praise in thanksgiving
for the work of creation. In the Eucharistic
sacrifice the whole of creation loved by God
is presented to the Father through the death
and the Resurrection of Christ. Through
Christ the Church can offer the sacrifice of
praise in thanksgiving for all that God has
made good, beautiful, and just in creation
and in humanity. CCC 1359
The Eucharist is a sacrifice of thanksgiving
to the Father, a blessing by which the Church
expresses her gratitude to God for all his
benefits, for all that he has accomplished
through creation, redemption, and
sanctification. Eucharist means first of all
"thanksgiving." CCC 1360
The Eucharist is also the sacrifice of praise by
which the Church sings the glory of God in the
name of all creation. This sacrifice of praise is
possible only through Christ: he unites the
faithful to his person, to his praise, and to his
intercession, so that the sacrifice of praise to the
Father is offered through Christ and with him,
to be accepted in him. CCC 1361
44. In the sense of Sacred Scripture the memorial is not merely the recollection
of past events but the proclamation of the mighty works wrought by God for men.
In the liturgical celebration of these events, they become in a certain way present and real.
This is how Israel understands its liberation from Egypt: every time Passover is celebrated,
the Exodus events are made present to the memory of believers
so that they may conform their lives to them. CCC 1363
45. In the New Testament,
the memorial takes on
new meaning.
When the Church
celebrates the Eucharist,
- she commemorates
Christ's Passover,
- and it is made present
the sacrifice Christ
offered once for all
on the cross
remains ever present.
"As often as the sacrifice
of the Cross by which
'Christ our Pasch has
been sacrificed' is
celebrated on the altar,
the work of our
redemption
is carried out.”
CCC 1364 - LG 3; cf. 1 Cor 5:7.
46. Because it is the memorial of Christ's Passover, the Eucharist is also a sacrifice.
The sacrificial character of the Eucharist is manifested in the very words of institution:
• "This is my body which is given for you"
• and "This cup which is poured out for you is the New Covenant in my blood.”
• In the Eucharist Christ gives us the very body which he gave up for us on the cross, the
very blood which he "poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins." CCC 1365
47. The sacrifice of Christ and
the sacrifice of the Eucharist
are one single sacrifice:
"The victim is one and the same:
the same now offers through the
ministry of priests, who then
offered himself on the cross;
only the manner of offering
is different."
"And since in this divine sacrifice
which is celebrated in the Mass,
the same Christ who offered himself
once in a bloody manner on the
altar of the cross is contained and
is offered in an unbloody manner. . .
this sacrifice is truly propitiatory."
CCC 1367
48. The Eucharist is also the sacrifice of the Church.
The Church which is the Body of Christ participates in the offering of her Head. With him, she herself
is offered whole and entire. She unites herself to his intercession with the Father for all men.
In the Eucharist the sacrifice of Christ becomes also the sacrifice of the members of his Body.
The lives of the faithful, their praise, sufferings, prayer, and work, are united with those of Christ
and with his total offering, and so acquire a new value. Christ's sacrifice present on the altar
makes it possible for all generations of Christians to be united with his offering. CCC 1368
49. The community intercedes
also for all ministers who,
for it and with it, offer
the Eucharistic sacrifice:
Let only that Eucharist be
regarded as legitimate, which
is celebrated under [the
presidency of] the bishop or
him to whom he has
entrusted it.
The whole Church is united
with the offering and
intercession of Christ.
Since he has the ministry of
Peter in the Church, the Pope
is associated with every
celebration of the Eucharist,
wherein he is named as the
sign and servant of the unity
of the universal Church.
The bishop of the place is always responsible for the
Eucharist, even when a priest presides; the bishop's name
is mentioned to signify his presidency over the particular
Church, in the midst of his presbyterium
and with the assistance of deacons.
50. Through the ministry of priests the spiritual sacrifice of the faithful is completed
in union with the sacrifice of Christ the only Mediator, which in the Eucharist
is offered through the priests' hands in the name of the whole Church
in an unbloody and sacramental manner until the Lord himself comes. CCC 1369
51. To the offering of Christ
are united not only the
members still here on
earth, but also those
already in the glory
of heaven.
In communion with
and commemorating the
Blessed Virgin Mary and
all the saints, the Church
offers the Eucharistic
sacrifice. In the
Eucharist the Church is
as it were at the foot of
the cross with Mary,
united with the offering
and intercession of
Christ. CCC 1370
52. The Eucharistic sacrifice is also
offered for the faithful departed
who "have died in Christ but are
not yet wholly purified," so that
they may be able to enter into the
light and peace of Christ:
Put this body anywhere! Don't
trouble yourselves about it! I simply
ask you to remember me at the
Lord's altar wherever you are.
Then, we pray [in the anaphora]
for the holy fathers and bishops
who have fallen asleep, and in
general for all who have fallen
asleep before us, in the belief that
it is a great benefit to the souls
on whose behalf the supplication
is offered, while the holy and
tremendous Victim is present. . . .
53. By offering
to God our
supplications for
those who have
fallen asleep,
if they have sinned,
we . . . offer Christ
sacrificed for the
sins of all, and so
render favorable,
for them and for us,
the God who
loves man.
CCC 1371
54. The Lord addresses an
invitation to us, urging
us to receive him in the
sacrament of the Eucharist:
"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."
CCC 1384
55. What material food produces in our bodily life,
Holy Communion wonderfully achieves in our spiritual life.
Communion with the flesh of the risen Christ, a flesh
"given life and giving life through the Holy Spirit,” CCC 1391
56. As bodily nourishment restores lost
strength, so the Eucharist strengthens
our charity, which tends to be
weakened in daily life; and this living
charity wipes away venial sins.
By giving himself to us Christ revives
our love and enables us to break our
disordered attachments to creatures
and root ourselves in him:
Since Christ died for us out of love,
when we celebrate the memorial of his
death at the moment of sacrifice we ask
that love may be granted to us by the
coming of the Holy Spirit. We humbly
pray that in the strength of this love
by which Christ willed to die for us,
we, by receiving the gift of the Holy
Spirit, may be able to consider the
world as crucified for us, and to be
ourselves as crucified to the world. . . .
Having received the gift of love,
let us die to sin and
live for God.
