Forever! The old adage: "You are what you eat" proves that. Once the Host is consecrated by the priest it becomes the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ! So, once you consume it - it becomes part of you - just as the food you consume builds and sustains your body - Christ builds and sustains your Soul! But if you are asking how long Our Blessed Lord stays in you physically in the sacrament of Holy Communion, then the answer is approximately 15-20 minutes. That physical presence of Our Blessed Lord only remains as long as the substance of the bread is discernible.
