What do you say when you have received the Eucharist?

Answer 1

As the Priest / extraordinary minister of Holy Communion offers the host, the receipient says, simply: "AMEN". They receive on the tongue or on the palm of the left hand, placing the right hand under the left (making a throne for the Eucharist), then taking the host by the fingers of the right hand, and placing it in your mouth. [In the Catholic Rite, the host is picked up from the palm of the hand, not 'lapped' out of the hand. After receiving the host, the communicant steps to the side and makes an appropriate sign, usually they bless themselves. Standing to receive is presently the norm in the US. Should one kneel, after receiving the host "on the tongue" one says: "Amen" makes the sign of the cross, rises, and returns to their seat.

Answer 2

You become closer to God spiritually, and also become united in communion with other Christians
When we receive the Eucharist with the proper disposition (with no mortal sin on our soul, and in faith that what we are receiving is truly the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Christ), then many fruits are achieved. Holy Communion:

* augments are union with Christ; * preserves, increases, and renews the life of grace received at Baptism * separates us from sin * strengthens our charity * cleanses us of venial sin * preserves us from future mortal sin * increases unity within the Mystical Body of Christ * commits us to the poor * encourages us to work for the unity of all Christians For more on the effects of the Eucharist, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, nos. 1391-1401.
