This lesson examines the celebration of the Mass and how the gifts of bread and wine are transformed in the Body and Blood of Jesus. When we receive Holy Communion, our souls are strengthened, our venial sins forgiven, and we are united with other Christians in the Body of Christ. Only Catholics in a state of grace should receive Communion in order to receive Jesus’ Body and Blood worthily. We should receive Holy Communion reverently and often.

This lesson examines the Eucharist as a sacrifice, and its foreshadowing in the Old Testament — especially as seen in the Passover. In the Old Covenant, God saved the physical lives of His people, the Israelites, through the blood of a lamb. In the New Covenant, Jesus saves the spiritual lives of His people through the shedding of His own Blood. It is this sacrifice of Jesus’ Body and Blood that we commemorate every time we celebrate the Eucharist at Holy Mass.
The Paschal Mystery is Christ’s work of redemption, through His Passion, death, and Resurrection, which saved us from sin and death for new life as sons and daughters of God.
The Mass is the celebration of Divine Worship and the highest celebration of our Faith.
