What is Holy Communion in regards to the Catholic faith?
.Catholic AnswerThis is a little difficult to answer as I don't know who is asking the question. If a protestant or other non-Catholic is asking what is Communion in regards to the Catholic faith, they might very well be asking what is the Eucharist in regards the Catholic faith. .Communion in the Catholic faith is the Eucharist insofar as it preserves the union with God by fostering that union by making a person more holy especially in practice of the supernatural virtue of charity..Communion is a word in the non-Catholic world which is used to refer to a service, or what Catholics would call the Most Holy Eucharist. The Most Holy Eucharist is the actual Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity, of Our Blessed Lord under the appearances of Bread and Wine. The word also refers to the Mass which is the re-presentation of the Sacrifice of Our Blessed Lord on the cross two thousand years ago.
