The bread represents the physical body of the Christ. He was broken, so that we wouldn't be.
The bread symbolises Christ's body, while the wine or water we take at the sacrament symbolises His blood which was split for us. Remember at the last supper he said to his disciples "Do this in remembrance of me".
Roman Catholic AnswerThe "breaking of the bread" is known as the Most Holy Eucharist in the Church. It is physically the Body and Blood of Our Blessed Lord made present as the Eucharist is celebrated by a priest. Some excerpts from The Catechism of the Catholic Church:1328 The inexhaustible richness of this sacrament is expressed in the different names we give it. Each name evokes certain aspects of it. It is called: . . .
1329 . . . The Breaking of Bread, because Jesus used this rite, part of a Jewish meal, when as master of the table he blessed and distributed the bread, (Cf. Mt 14:19; 15:36; Mk 8:6, 19.) above all at the Last Supper. (Cf. Mt26:26; 1 Cor 11:24.) It is by this action that his disciples will recognize him after his Resurrection, (Cf. Lk24:13-35.) and it is this expression that the first Christians will use to designate their Eucharistic assemblies; (Cf. Acts2:42; 29:7, 11.) by doing so they signified that all who eat the one broken bread, Christ, enter into communion with him and form but one body in him. (Cf. 1 Cor 10:16-17).
How Our Blessed Lord is recognized is through faith. Without faith, which, by the way, is a gift of God, it is impossible to either recognize Our Blessed Lord in the Breaking of the Bread, or to understand how others do so. The only way to recognize such a thing in a believer is to see how they live their lives. A genuine follower of Christ lives a counter-cultural life that is different from those around him.
