| | Eucharist and Christ's Real Presence |
 | | The relationship between the Church and the Holy Eucharist is, in fact, so intimate that the marks of the Church &; one, holy, catholic and apostolic — also describe the Holy Eucharist. | | | I am trying to concentrate on this theme, attempting to both educate and inspire the faithful to a greater knowledge of the doctrine of the Eucharist and a practical love that engenders reverence at Mass and the practice of the Holy Hour, or a 'holy minute,' as I tell people. | | | The average Catholic is vague concerning the nature of the Eucharistic presence of Christ, and one can sympathize with him, in view of the lack of clear teaching about the Most Blessed Sacrament. |

| | The Eucharist thus appears as both the source and the summit of all evangelization, since its goal is the communion of mankind with Christ and in him with the Father and the Holy Spirit. | | | The Church is fortified by the divine Paraclete through the sanctification of the faithful in the Eucharist. | | | The Eucharist, as Christ's saving presence in the community of the faithful and its spiritual food, is the most precious possession which the Church can have in her journey through history. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Blessed Eucharist as a Sacrament |
| | Eminent divines, like Suarez, claim that the Eucharist, if not absolutely necessary, is at least a relatively and morally necessary means to salvation, in the sense that no adult can long sustain his spiritual, supernatural life who neglects on principle to approach Holy Communion. | | | Not the first, for the simple reason that the Blessed Eucharist, being a sacrament of the living, presupposes the state of sanctifying grace; not the second, because in case of necessity, such as might arise, e.g., in a long sea-voyage, the Eucharistic graces may be supplied by actual graces. | | | The Eucharist being a permanent sacrament, and the confection (confectio) and the reception (susceptio) thereof being separated from each other by an interval of time, the minister may be and in fact is twofold: (a) the minister of consecration and (b) the minister of administration. |

| | Eucharist |
| | In the Church's traditional theological language, in the act of consecration during the Eucharist the "substance" of the bread and wine is changed by the power of the Holy Spirit into the "substance" of the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. | | | This belief that the Eucharist becomes the glorified body of Christ is not "consubstantiation." Catholics believe the Eucharist is fully Him (Transubstantiation). | | | Catholics believe the miracle of the Eucharist is that it has the taste, smell, and shape of the wafer but that during the mass, the substance actually becomes Christ's glorified body which can only been seen through the eyes of Faith. |

| | The Holy Eucharist is the most important of the seven sacraments because, in this and in no other sacrament, we receive the very body and blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ. | | | Finally, after you have received Communion, it is appropriate to stay after Mass and thank Jesus for coming to you in the Holy Eucharist. | | | Canon law states, "One who is to receive the most Holy Eucharist is to abstain from any food or drink, with the exception only of water and medicine, for at least the period of one hour before Holy Communion" (CIC 919 §1). |

| | Denominations that practice closed communion will only share the Eucharist with members of their own church and with members of churches they consider to be in full communion with themselves. | | | Since it prefigures the ultimate union with God to which Orthodox Christians aspire (see theosis), the Eucharist plays a central role in Orthodox theology, which teaches, along with Roman Catholicism, that the Divine Liturgy mystically brings the congregation into the presence of both the original Last Supper and the angelic worship in Heaven. | | | According to the ancient tradition, evident in the works of Jesus, the Didache, Scripture, and numerous Church Fathers, communion in the Catholic faith is only for those who have accepted that faith. |

| | In his recent teachings, our Holy Father has emphasized the importance of adoration of the Blessed Sacrament: "The worship of the Eucharist outside the Sacrifice of the Mass is a tribute of inestimable value in the life of the Church. | | | While emphasizing the importance of the Mass, the Holy Father then recommends various forms of eucharistic devotion: personal prayer and periods of adoration before the Blessed Sacrament, exposition and benediction, Forty Hours devotion, eucharistic processions, eucharistic Congresses, and a special observance of the Solemnity of Corpus Christi. | | | On this feast day, the holy Eucharist was carried in procession in vessels similar to our present day monstrances, which allowed the faithful to view the Blessed Sacrament. |

| | In the doctrine of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, there is a question of even higher relation, in that the separated species of bread and wine also represent the mystical separation of Christ's Body and Blood or the unbloody Sacrifice of the Eucharistic Lamb. | | | The doctrine of the Church regarding the effects or the fruits of Holy Communion centres around two ideas: (a) the union with Christ by love and (b) the spiritual repast of the soul. | | | According to a decision of the Sacred Congregation of Rites (25 Feb., 1777), still in force, the deacon is to administer Holy Communion only in case of necessity and with the approval of his bishop or his pastor. |

| | Holy Communion |
| | The result of such disputes was that very few were considered worthy to receive the Holy Eucharist daily, and to derive from this most health-giving sacrament its more abundant fruits; the others were content to partake of it once a year, or once a month, or at most once a week. | | | The Council of Trent attempted to refute this by re-enforcing the Churchs original understanding of frequent Communion when it declared: At each Mass the faithful who are present should communicate (receive Communion), not only in spiritual desire, but sacramentally, by the actual reception of the Eucharist" (Session 22, 6). | | | In 1905, the Catholic Church addressed this issue again in the Decree on the Frequent and Daily Reception of Holy Communion (Sacra Tridentina). |
