The Eucharist (Holy Communion) is the actual Body and Blood of Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ physically present among us. Without the Eucharist, there would be no Church. The Church is the Mystical Body of Christ which depends for its existence on the Real Body of Christ in the Eucharist. When we receive Holy Communion worthily we are receiving Our Blessed Lord and becoming Him. This was His Command: "So Jesus said to them, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink His blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in Me, and I in him.'" (St. John 6:53-56)
