Jesus said to his disciples - as they took the "last supper" - "do this in memory of me."

Paul also tells the Corinthian Church that he - Paul - received the same instructions from the Lord:

1Co 11:24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

1Co 11:25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."

1Co 11:26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death till He comes.

So participating in the Lord's Supper is a time to remember Jesus' death and how having faith in Jesus' death - as payment for a person's sin - is the way people are put right with God.

Roman Catholics believe that in the Lord's Supper, also known as the Eucharist, the bread and wine become the actual body and blood of Jesus Christ through the process of transubstantiation. This sacrament is considered a central act of worship and a means of grace, commemorating the Last Supper when Jesus instituted the Eucharist.
