Catholic AnswerThe Holy Eucharist is the re-presentation of Our Blessed Lord's sacrifice of Himself on the Cross to His Father. As such, it is the ultimate prayer of Our Blessed Lord, it was the offering of His Entire Life to the Father in Heaven. There is no greater prayer then the prayer of God to God, that He re-presents to us daily so that we may join with Him in His Prayer to the Father.

Is there Holy Communion on Good Friday?
It is an ancient tradition of the Christian Church not to celebrate the Eucharist or Mass Or Divine Liturgy on Good Friday. This tradition continues to be observed in virtually all Christian Churches, whether Roman Catholic, Eastern Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican or Protestant.
