Eucharist/Mass

1.  What is Holy Eucharist? 

    The Real Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity, of Jesus Christ, under the appearances  of bread  and wine. 

2.  How are the bread and wine changed into the Body  and Blood of Christ in the Mass?

    When through the power of God, the priest says the words of consecration given by Christ. 

3.  Is Christ completely received in either the bread or wine  alone? 

    Yes, through transubstantiation (complete change of substance but not appearance). 

4.  What are the rules for receiving communion? 

   ~ Be in a state of grace (no mortal sin) 

 ~ Keep the prescribed fast. 

5.  Is the Eucharist a Sacrament only? 

    It is also the sacrifice of the New Law.

6.  What is the Holy Mass? 

    The Sacrifice of the Body and  Blood of Jesus Christ, really present on the  altar  
      under the appearances of bread and wine, offered to God for the living and dead. 

7.   Is the Mass the same Sacrifice as Calvary? 

    Yes, because Christ offered  himself as a bleeding victim on the Cross to His  Father 
 and continues to offer himself in an  unbloody manner on the altar  
      through the ministry  of His priests.
