1324 The Eucharist is "the source and summit of the Christian life." (Lumen Gentium 11)" The other sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it. For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself, our Pasch." (Presbyterorum ordinis)
1325 "the Eucharist is the efficacious sign and sublime cause of that communion in the divine life and that unity of the People of God by which the church is kept in being. It is the culmination both of God's action sanctifying the world in Christ and of the worship men offer to Christ and through him to the Father in the Holy Spirit." (Congregation of Rites, instruction, Eucharisticum mysterium, 6)
1326 Finally, by the Eucharistic celebration we already unite ourselves with the heavenly liturgy and anticipate eternal life, when God will be all in all. (Cf. 1 Cor 15:28)

We remember his saving actions when we eat the Eucharist
The saving effect of the Paschal Mystery refers to the belief in Christianity that through the crucifixion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, humanity is offered salvation from sin and eternal life in God's presence. It is considered the central event in Christian theology and is believed to reconcile God and humanity, offering redemption and the promise of eternal life.

The Eucharist
Yes it is.
The Eucharist is Holy Communion. Communion means a coming together in celebration with each other and Jesus Christ. Eucharist is in "remembrance of" Christ.
When you receive the Eucharist, you remember that is is the Body and Blood of Christ, and Christ gave himself up for all of us.
Eucharist/Holy Communion
what are the 3 things to remember whenever we celebrate the eucharist
You are thinking of the Eucharist, but although it is presented in the form of a meal, a sacred meal, modeled on the Last Supper, it is much more than that. It is the miracle in which Our Blessed Lord's sacrifice of Himself on the Cross at Calvary is actually made present for those assembled. In other words, when you are at Mass (the Eucharist), you are not just remembering, you are actually witnessing the once and only sacrifice of Our Blessed Lord dying on the cross. There is absolutely no difference between what you see on the altar and what Our Blessed Lady saw as she watched her Son tortured to death on the cross - it is the SAME through a miracle of God called the Eucharist.
Yes, but for what I can't remember.
The Eucharist - taking bread and wine - is not a sacrifice. Taking the Eucharist is a time to remember Jesus' death on the cross. The elements are only symbols of Christ's body and blood. Nothing can be the same as Jesus' death on the cross. His death burial and resurrection were unique.
