the Eucharist is more of a remembrance than a celebration really, because in The Bible (Mathew 26;26 and Luke 22;19) Jesus tells us to do this (the breaking of bread and distribution of wine) in remembrance of him. since he was going to be crucified but will rise on the third day.

∙ 15y agoThe word Eucharist has the following origin: Eucharist "sacrament of the Lord's Supper, the Communion," c.1350, from Gk. eukharistia "Thanksgiving, gratitude," later "the Lord's Supper," from eukharistos "grateful," from eu- "well" + stem of kharizesthai "show favor," from kharis "favor, grace," from PIE base *gher- "to like, want" (see horatory). Eukharisteo is the usual verb for "thank" in the Septuagint and N.T. Quoted from the Related Link.

∙ 14y agoIn Christianity, the Eucharist is one of the two sacraments common to nearly all Christian denominations. Through the sacrament of the Eucharist, Christians believe that they receive Christ's body and blood. In the celebration of the Eucharist, Christ's exhortation from the gospels to perform the Eucharist is fulfilled.
Luke 22:19-20: 19And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me." 20In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
John 6:53-56: 53Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him.

∙ 12y agoThere are various beliefs regarding the meaning of communion. Roman Catholics believe the elements change when they are consecrated by a priest from the substance of bread and wine to the substance of the actual body and blood of Christ (Transubstantiation). Lutherans traditionally affirm Consubstantiation, holding that the body and blood of Christ are present with the bread and wine. Reformed churches affirm that Christ is spiritually present with the elements. In the Free Church tradition, the bread and wine are seen as symbolic of the body and blood of Christ. The Lord's Supper is called communion because Jesus commanded at the Last Supper "Do this in remembrance of me."

What sacred meal in which Catholics remember God's saving acts?
You are thinking of the Eucharist, but although it is presented in the form of a meal, a sacred meal, modeled on the Last Supper, it is much more than that. It is the miracle in which Our Blessed Lord's sacrifice of Himself on the Cross at Calvary is actually made present for those assembled. In other words, when you are at Mass (the Eucharist), you are not just remembering, you are actually witnessing the once and only sacrifice of Our Blessed Lord dying on the cross. There is absolutely no difference between what you see on the altar and what Our Blessed Lady saw as she watched her Son tortured to death on the cross - it is the SAME through a miracle of God called the Eucharist.
