Catholic Answer

The Eucharist is the re-presentation of Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ's sacrifice of Himself upon the cross, for the remission of our sins, and for our salvation. The first part of the Eucharist (called the Liturgy of the Word follows the form of the old Synagogue service with readings from Scripture and a homily. The second part of the Eucharist (called the Liturgy of the Eucharist) is modeled on the Last Supper, which, itself, was modeled on the Passover Supper - this is where Christ's passion and death on the cross is made present (NOT repeated!) for us here, two thousand years later, and a half a world away.

.

The Eucharist is part of the Catholic Mass- refers to the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ appearing in the form of bread and wine, and to receiving it as Jesus commanded us to do.

.

During the liturgy of the Eucharist you need to sing when someone brings up the gifts to the bishop because in this meal the sacrifice of the cross is made present when the priest carries out Jesus did.
