Amen
Amen
The purpose of the Eucharist in mass is for everyone to take in Jesus. The Bread and Winebecomes the Body and Blood of Christ once the priest has blessed it.To be able to take Communion you must have had you first Holy Communion. Once you have had it you can receive Bread and Wine (The body and Blood) at Church. When you go up for Communion the priest will say "the body of Christ" and will have to answer "Amen" to receive it.
The eucharistic minister says, "the body of Christ." and you say "Amen."
The person holding the Body of Christ would say "This is the body of Christ" and offer it to you and you would say Amen (I believe). Another person would do the same with a chalice of God's blood and again you would say Amen. A non-Catholic should not receive communion.
Body of Christ = Leib Christi
In the Ordinary Form, you say, "Amen", and stick your tongue out to receive Holy Communion; in the Extraordinary Form, you just open your mouth and stick your tongue out without saying anything.
In transubstantiation, the bread becomes the Body of Christ and the Wine the Blood of Christ. Strictly speaking though, both sacred species (the consecrated Bread and Wine) each contain the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, hence why both species do not need to be received at Mass. In order for the bread to be transubstantiated, a priest with valid Holy Orders must say: "Hoc est enim corpus meam" in Latin or "This is my Body" in English. There are official translations of this formula for every language in which the Mass is said in the vernacular.

"your name", Body of Christ given for you, Blood of Christ shed for you.
No. You have to receive Christ in the Blessed Sacrament, which you cannot do so from listening to the Mass on the radio or hear it on TV..Catholic AnswerNo, if you are sick in bed, say in the hospital, and are unable to attend Mass, then it is probably a profitable thing to do to listen to Mass on the radio or watch it on the television. However, neither would fulfill your Sunday and Holy Day Obligation of attending Mass. It is, indeed, a praiseworthy and holy thing to be able to receive Holy Communion, however, you are not required to receive Holy Communion except once during the Easter Season. You are, however, required toattend Mass each Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation. The main point of Mass is to worship Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, in person, when He arrives on the altar during the consecration. It is wholly impossible to do this in person on the television or radio: there you are just witnessing a representation of it.
I think that the person is asking you if you know that you are really taking the body of Christ and when you say amen it means yes.New Answer:"The body of Christ "is a reference to the first communion Jesus took with His disciples as the took the bread meant for the Messiah, broke it and said, "This is my body, which has been broken for you. Do this often and in remembrance of me.""Amen" is a Hebrew word meaning, "let it be," "so be it," or "verily."
Roman Catholic AnswerWhen the priest actually gives you Holy Communion, he says, "The Body of Christ".
