The Eucharist is one of the most important parts of being a Catholic. It’s a very special way we can be close to Jesus. At every Mass, when the bread and wine are blessed by the priest, they become the Body and Blood of Jesus. This happens because Jesus told us at the Last Supper, “This is my body... this is my blood... do this in memory of me.”\nThe Eucharist is like food for our souls. Just like we eat food to stay strong and healthy, receiving the Eucharist helps us grow in our faith and stay close to Jesus. When we receive Him in Holy Communion, Jesus comes into our hearts and gives us His love, peace, and strength.\nThe Eucharist also reminds us that Jesus is always with us. Even though we can’t see Him, He is truly present in the Eucharist. This is why we kneel and pray in front of the tabernacle, where the Eucharist is kept.\nWhen we receive the Eucharist, it helps us to be more like Jesus. It teaches us to love others, forgive, and share. It brings us closer to God and to everyone in our Church family.\nThe Eucharist is Jesus’ special gift to us, a sign of His love and a way for us to stay connected with Him forever. It’s a moment of great joy and thanksgiving!\nSpecific topics covered in this title include: The Sacrifice of Cain and Abel Abraham's Sacrifice The Passover Jesus Celebrates the Passover The Institution of the Holy Eucharist Jesus Offers Himself in the Mass The Highest Act of Worship The Mass - Our Greatest Gift to God The Manna in the Desert Jesus Feeds Five Thousand People Jesus Is the Bread of Life Jesus Promised the Holy Eucharist Jesus Is Our Food in Holy Communion Holy Communion Helps Us to Love God and Each Other \"The Breaking of the Bread\" Jesus Is with Us in the Tabernacle Jesus Is \"God with Us\"\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0899423973\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0899423973.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Lovasik S.V.D., Reverend Lawrence G\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
