- Jesus is the ‘Bread of Life’.
- The Eucharist is our response to the command of Jesus, ‘Do this in memory of me’. (I Cor 11:24-25)
- In the sacrament of the Eucharist, I receive Christ, really present under the appearance of bread and wine.
- The Eucharist is the centre of Christian life and worship.
- In the Eucharist we give thanks for God’s presence in the people and events of our lives.
- The Eucharist nourishes me in my Christian life and challenges me to serve others.
- Through the sacraments we are drawn more deeply into the life of the Church.
- The seven sacraments are: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders and Matrimony.
