Eucharist-Sacrificial Banquet- As Sacrifice
The Mass is the central act of Catholic worship; it is a prayer of thanksgiving by which Calvary is renewed. “The very presence of Christ” comes into the lives of the community; unites them with Christ, strengthens their faith in God and commitment to work for salvation.
As a Sacrament the priest consecrates bread and wine; Jesus becomes present, whole and entire in these elements, to nourish his community.
