Why do you need to attend the Holy Eucharist?

Answer 1

When one takes or recieves communioin, one shares in the body and blood of Christ, thus recommitting oneself to Christ. Only those who belong to Christ through the sacrament of baptism are legible for this act. This is because beforer one is baptized, one does not belong to the body of Christ the Church and thus is not in communion with the Church. If one is not in communion with the Church one is not in communion with Christ as the Church is one, consecrated to Christ and is the body of Christ. being in communion means being a member of the Church, sharing in the unity of the body of Christ comprised of the living and the faithful departed. It is not because of any worthiness that one recieves communion because no one is worthy so to do, but it is by God's grace that we are purified and healed of our iniquities and thus able to share in the Sacred Mysteries of the Body and Blood of Christ. By recieving communion one explicitly communicates one's acceptance of Christ as Lord and King of all creation. not only that, but one also outwardly communicates one's identity, 'I belong to Christ, and to his Holy Church and so I share in His Body in the Eucharist together with my brothers and sisters in the Body of Christ the Church.

And when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me."

We receive the Holy Eucharist in remembrance of Christ also to that he broke and shed himself for the sake of us, to open the gates of Heaven. When we receive this bread we focus on Christ, while other times during the day we might forget about Him. The Eucharist helps us remember Jesus in many ways such as life, death and resurrection.

While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins." Matthew 26:26-28
