What does the Catholic Church teach us about the Eucharist?
At the Last Supper, Jesus said, "Take this bread. It's my body. "Then he said:" Take this and drink. This is my blood. Do this in memory of me. "
Catholics believe this was the First Eucharist, that through some miracle the bread and wine actually become the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
Catholics reenact the Last Supper at every Mass when the priest, instead of Christ, it changes bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
This is a great sacrament of thanksgiving and unity of Catholics.
With love in Christ.
