    Uploaded by

    Mhay Bautista
    The Holy Eucharist is celebrated as a memorial of Christ's Paschal Mystery and saving act, where believers give thanks to God, listen to Scripture, and share in Christ's body and blood under the forms of bread and wine. It is structured as a sacred meal that brings Christ's saving presence among the gathered community as one body of believers. The Eucharist finds its roots in the Old Testament Passover meal and New Testament Last Supper, where Christ established it as a sacrifice and meal.
