THIS IS THE BODY OF CHRIST . . .
The Sacrament of the Eucharist is a profound gesture of love expressed in sacrifice. It is a celebration of the victory of life over death, forgiveness over sin and unity over division. The Eucharist is the memorial of Jesus’ death and resurrection, instituted by Jesus on the night he was betrayed and in which the body and blood of Jesus is truly and fully present.
