• The Sacrament of the Eucharist is important because it is an act of thanksgiving. The word Eucharist means thanksgiving. By receiving Holy Communion Catholics are saying thanks to God for the gift of salvation.
• It is an act of giving thanks for Jesus that he allowed his body to be broken and his blood to be shed for humanity. It is a memorial of his sacrificial death.
• In the service the congregation thank God for feeding them with the spiritual food of the body and blood of Christ.
• The Mass is thanksgiving not only for the death of Jesus but also for his resurrection, ascension and the promise of the coming of his kingdom.
• Jesus is truly present in the Mass through the power of the Holy Spirit and so Catholics give thanks for his presence.
