The Eucharist Year 10 RE

Sacraments The Catholic Church has seven sacraments. These sacraments have particular purposes. Each provides special graces for life's important moments. Eucharist  is the sacrament that nourishes a person in his or her faith.

What is the Eucharist? Eucharist as Sacrifice, Memorial and Sacred Meal The fundamental elements of the Eucharist consist of sacrifice, memorial and the sharing of a sacred meal .

When it begins…why it is important Confirmation The Sacrament of Confirmation is a second spiritual milestone in our life journey. This sacrament reaffirms our baptism before we take the final step of becoming a full member of the Catholic Church. The bishop is the usual minister of the Sacrament of Confirmation, which also takes place in our local parish church. Eucharist The Sacrament of the Eucharist is the central sacrament of the Church. When we receive this sacrament for the first time, it marks a major milestone in our spiritual journey. Each time we celebrate the Eucharist, we have the opportunity of receiving Jesus in Holy Communion . Like with other things the Sacrament of the Eucharist is regarded as a spiritual milestone, because it is a marker of an important step in our growth as Christians.

Some facts The  Eucharist  is the sacramental sacrifice, which perpetuates the sacrifice of the cross. The  Eucharist  is the memorial of the death and Resurrection of Christ. The  Eucharist  is the Sacred Meal in which Christ is received, and the new and eternal covenant, established by the sacrifice of Christ, is renewed.

In the Mass The single most important act of worship is the celebration of the weekly Mass on Saturday evening or Sunday. Here, we listen to the Word of God in the Liturgy of the Word, and to the celebrant who teaches the meaning of the Scriptures and applies the Word of God to daily life. The highest point of the Mass is the Liturgy of the  Eucharist , when we receive the Body and Blood of Christ in Holy Communion.

At Mass B y the power of the Holy Spirit and the words of the priest, the bread and wine become the body and blood of Jesus. When Catholics receive Holy Communion, their spiritual lives are fed and nourished. This is because they receive Jesus in the Eucharist.

Mass The celebration of Mass is the most important form of worship, because it brings us into contact with the central event of God's saving plan, the suffering, death and resurrection of Christ. During the Liturgy of the  Eucharist  we receive Christ, and we look forward to his coming at the end of time, when we shall all be united with him in heaven. School Masses form an important tradition in the life of the Catholic school. The school community often celebrates the Mass on important occasions, such as the feast day of the patron saint of the parish, the induction of school leaders, graduations, or the feast day of the saint after whom the school is named.

The Last Supper The Eucharist which Jesus put in place at the Last Supper, became the sacrifice which accomplished the redemption of all people, and established a new covenant once and for all by taking away the sin of the world through his blood (CCC, #613). The Passover meal was a remembrance of the journey of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt to freedom in the Promised Land. The Eucharistic blessing given by Jesus over bread and wine was a proclamation of our escape from the slavery of death through his coming death.

The Eucharist Prayer In the Roman Catholic Church there are four variations of the  Eucharist Prayers  on Sundays. They all share the same basic themes. The Eucharistic Prayer takes the form through which Christ and the Passion of Christ are sacramentally re-presented to the community. The Eucharistic Prayer is the people's prayer, proclaimed by the priest, who presides on their behalf. The Eucharistic Prayers have emerged from various traditions.

The Eucharist Prayer It is the central and community documentation for maintaining the memory of God's unconditional love, of the rich tradition instituted by Christ, and of all of the mysteries of Christ. The Eucharistic prayer maintains and reinforces those things that are at the very core of Church's identity and life . It represents the apostolic faith of the Church, its intention to fulfil the commandment of Christ in praise and sacrament, in the power of the Spirit that from his glory he poured forth on believers.

A Memorial Prayer The central theme of the Eucharistic Prayers focuses on the memorial of the death and Resurrection of Christ. The Eucharistic Prayer takes the form through which Christ and the Passion of Christ are sacramentally re-presented to the community. It is a prayer of praise and thanksgiving for God's creation, and for God's wonderful work of salvation.

Example of Memorial Prayer We give you praise, Father most holy, for you are great, and you have fashioned all your works in wisdom and in love. You formed man in your own image and entrusted the whole world to his care, so that in serving you alone, the Creator, he might have dominion over all creatures. And when through disobedience he had lost your friendship, you did not abandon him to the domain of death. For you came in mercy to the aid of all, so that those who seek might find you. Time and again you offered them covenants and through the prophets taught them to look forward to salvation. And you so loved the world, Father most holy, that in the fullness of time you sent your Only Begotten Son to be our Saviour . Made incarnate by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, he shared our human nature in all things but sin. To the poor he proclaimed the good news of salvation, to prisoners, freedom, and to the sorrowful of heart, joy. To accomplish your plan, he gave himself up to death, and, rising from the dead, he destroyed death and restored life. And that we might live no longer for ourselves but for him who died and rose again for us, he sent the Holy Spirit from you, Father, as the first fruits for those who believe, so that, bringing to perfection his work in the world, he might sanctify creation to the full . - Taken from: Eucharistic Prayer IV, Available at: www.catholic-resources.org

The People's Prayer The Eucharistic Prayer is the people's prayer, proclaimed by the priest, who presides on their behalf. Prior to the consecration of the bread and wine, the celebrant invokes the Holy Spirit so that the words spoken becomes the words of Christ, which through the power of the Holy Spirit transforms the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Jesus . Therefore, O Lord, we humbly implore you: by the same Spirit graciously make holy these gifts we have brought to you for consecration, that they may become the Body and Blood of your Son our Lord Jesus Christ at whose command we celebrate these mysteries . - Taken from: Eucharistic Prayer III, Available at: www.catholic-resources.org In the Last Supper narrative, Christ, through the celebrant, pronounces the same words that he spoke at the Last Supper . Take this, all of you, and eat of it: For this is my Body which will be given up for you. Take this, all of you, and drink from it: For this is the chalice of my Blood, the Blood of the New and Eternal Covenant, which will be poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Do this in memory of me.

Prayer of Intercession Finally , the Eucharistic Prayer is a prayer of intercession for the whole Church community, as well as all people in the world, including those who are alive and those who have died . Remember, Lord, your Church, spread throughout the world, and bring her to the fullness of charity, together with N. our Pope and N. our Bishop and all the clergy. Remember also our brothers and sisters who have fallen asleep in the hope of the Resurrection and all who have died in your mercy: welcome them into the light of your face. Have mercy on us all, we pray, that with the blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, with the blessed Apostles, and all the Saints who have pleased you throughout the ages, we may merit to be co-heirs to eternal life, and may praise and glorify you through your Son, Jesus Christ .   Taken from: Eucharistic Prayer II , Available at:  www.catholic-resources.org

History of the Eucharistic Prayer The Eucharistic Prayers have emerged from various traditions. While there are only a few texts from the early Church in existence, they all had a very simple structure, and followed closely the structure of Jewish blessing prayers at meals or in the synagogue. Therefore, there is a connection with the blessing prayers of the Jewish Passover, but beyond this knowledge, there are many different opinions regarding the development of the Eucharistic Prayers . Although the Eucharistic Prayers in the early Church were not always identical across the different communities, they all shared the same basic themes described above. It is uncertain whether the Last Supper Narrative, with its memorial command, was used from the very beginning, but it quickly became the centre of the prayer, as developments in various Christian communities were integrated into the Eucharist prayers we now have today .

Pray to Saints During the  Eucharist ic Prayer, the saints are also mentioned among those with whom we pray and offer the sacrifice of the Mass. Prayers to saints and patron saints abound in the Church. It is common for Catholics to pray to: St Anthony - asking him to find things they have lost St Jude - for help in hopeless cases St Gerard Majella - patron saint of mothers St Joseph - for success in work.
