The Consecration is where the priest says, "Take this, all of you and eat it. This is My Body, which will be given up for you," over the bread, making it the Body of Christ, and "Take this, all of you, and drink from it. This is the chalice of My Blood, the blood of the New and Everlasting Covenant. It will be shed for you and for many, for the forgiveness of sins. Do this in memory of me," making it the Blood of Christ.

However, the accidentals, the look, taste, chemicals, etc. are the same, the substance of bread has been changed into Christ. The meaning is that God loves us so much that He performs this miracle on a daily basis so that He can be with us, feed us, and help us by giving us the grace that we need to lead the life He calls us to.
