meal, a memorial of Christ’s

Thursday “the night on which he was betrayed”
as he celebrated the Last Supper with his
apostles.
32. The Last Supper
“He took bread, blessed it and broke it,
and gave it to the disciples and said, ‘Take, eat,
this is My Body’, then He took the cup and gave
thanks, and gave it to His disciples saying, ‘Drink
from it, all of you, for this is My Blood of the New
Covenant, which is shed for many for the
remission of sins’”
-Matthew 26:26-28
33. In the mass there are 2 liturgies:
a. Liturgy of the Word
b. Liturgy of the Eucharist
They are not separated but they
belong to one celebration which is the
mass
34. Celebration of the Holy Eucharist
The Liturgy of the Word involves proclaiming and
listening to the Word of God.
The Liturgy of the Eucharist includes the
presentation of the bread and wine, the prayer or the
anaphora containing the words of consecration, and
communion.
35. Essential and necessary elements
for celebrating the Eucharist
Bread, freshly made from pure wheaten flour,
Wine, as the pure natural juice of the grape

and sacrifice)
37. AMBO :TABLE OF THE

the Word of God is proclaimed.
57. Holy Communion
The Church recommends that the faithful, if they have
the required dispositions, receive Holy Communion
whenever they participate at Holy Mass. However, the
Church obliges them to receive Holy Communion at
least once a year during the Easter season
58. Holy Communion
To receive Holy Communion one must be fully
incorporated into the Catholic Church and be in the
state of grace, that is, not conscious of being in mortal
sin.
Anyone who is conscious of having committed a grave
sin must first receive the sacrament of Reconciliation
before going to Communion.
Also important for those receiving Holy Communion
are a spirit of recollection and prayer, observance of
the fast prescribed by the Church, and an appropriate
disposition of the body (gestures and dress) as a sign
of respect for Christ.
59. Holy Communion
Holy Communion increases our union with
Christ and with his Church. It preserves and
renews the life of grace received at Baptism
and Confirmation and makes us grow in love
for our neighbor. It strengthens us in charity,
wipes away venial sins and preserves us from
mortal sin in the future.
60. CHURCH TEACHING
Vatican II Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy
(Sacrosanctum Concilium), 47
“At the Last Supper, our Savior instituted the
Eucharistic sacrifice of his Body and Blood. This he did
in order to perpetuate the sacrifice on the Cross
throughout the ages until he should come again, and
so to entrust to his death and resurrection, a
sacrament of love, a sign of unity and bound of charity,
(is given to us)…”
61. The Teaching affirms that:
The Eucharist has its origin in Jesus
Jesus established it at the Last Supper, the
night before he died on the Cross.
62. The Teaching affirms that:
The Eucharist was entrusted by Christ to the
Church
It was to the Christian
community of his disciples,
that Jesus entrusted the
continuing remembrance of
his life-giving death and
resurrection.
63. The Teaching affirms that:
The Eucharist is the memorial of Jesus’ sacrifice
on the cross
Memorial does not only
mean recalling a past event
but it also means making
that past event present
through a ritual celebration
in order to receive the
benefits of that event.
64. The Teaching affirms that:
The Eucharist expresses the fullness of love
shown in Jesus’ total and unconditional gift of
Himself
It also calls and empowers
those who partake of it to “love
one another as he has loved
them”
65. The Teaching affirms that:
The Eucharist does not only commemorate and
relive the past, it also gives us a glimpse of the
covenant meal of God with his people at the end
of time

made frequent references to
the second and glorious coming
of Jesus at the end of time.

69. It is the most
important
because it the
Source and
Summit of
Christian Life
70. The Church teaches us that “the Eucharist is
objectively the source and summit of the
Christian life” [SC 10, 47].
Our Christian life is nourished, thus
empowering us to witness to our faith.
The Risen Christ comes to us in the rite he
himself established, the sacrificial meal he
offered at the Last Supper. His once-and-for-
all death on the Cross and his glorious
Resurrection are made present to us in every
Mass.
CONCLUSION
71. We unite ourselves with the
whole body of Christ, the
Church, in this great gift.
