Holy Eucharist
Holy Eucharist

The Holy Eucharist which is also known as Holy Communion. We always celebrate this sacrament every Sunday and the masses which we are obliged to attend. The priest always gives us sermons and there are lessons that we acquire from them. We are always reminded that Jesus sacrificed Himself for us for the atonement of our sins. It is also a way for us to be closer to Him.

Nowadays, some people are not giving importance to the mass and just say it’s a waste of time. But for me, it’s not. Through mass, I learn a lot and give me a sense of safety wherever I go. And it’s also a way for me to thank God for everything he had done and given me. Sometimes, you can see people in the church only talking and not listening to the homily. This is often what I observed. It is truly saddening because God gave us this sacrament to listen to the word of God and yet we are not listening. I, too, sometimes don’t listen because I’m with my friends. You can’t just help it chatting with your companion; there is so many temptations that can lead to not listen to the mass. But if you truly want to hear the mass, you will stop. There is also another thing that I observe; other people went with their family. Sometimes I envy them because my mother is not here and I’m not with my father, for my brothers they are always busy and sometimes not in the house. When I see family going to church, they are happy and altogether they listen. It is a wonderful sight and I wonder if my family is here will we be like that too? Even though we are not complete now, I feel blessed that I still able to go to mass and pray. And also for a chance for letting me to be closer to Him.

I should encourage people to go to mass because it is just one hour and once a week. We have given many days for us, so we should at least give time for God. God is reaching for us so we should let not waste this opportunities that He had given us. We don’t know when we will die so we should spend our time

    Anamnesis is the Greek word meaning memory. Amnesia sounds very similar to anamnesis but means memory loss. Anamnesis connects to the Eucharist in many ways. In the Eucharist, people are taking in Jesus’ Body and Blood and remembering Christ's death and resurrection of His salvation. Memory has a deeper meaning in the Church. The Church lives in the memory of the Eucharist through the anamnesis. Through the Eucharist, people are proclaiming the work of God to be present in their lives by remembering the Paschal Mystery. The Paschal Mystery strengthens people for Christ’s journey to salvation and for eternity.…

    The Holy Eucharist is the manifestation of the Orthodox Church as the new life in Jesus Christ, the new life of grace. In the Mystery (Sacrament) of the Holy Eucharist, we have the real and true presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and not any symbolic or imaginary appearance. The change of the elements of bread and wine takes place by supernatural means that surpasses all human understanding and which can only be understood through pure and undefiled faith. Although, the Holy Eucharist as a Mystery (Sacrament) and as a Sacrifice is simultaneously perfected by the same sanctification, it keeps the two inseparable features of the Mystery (Sacrament) and the Sacrifice that differ according to their nature. Because the Holy Eucharist…

    I am writing you today as a concerned member of your congregation. Recently, I found myself on the doorstep of an old, breath-takingly beautiful cathedral, but I stumbled in only to realize that I, a devout Lutheran, am not allowed to receive communion. My lack of knowledge on the Eucharist and the guidelines the Catholic church has placed on this sacrament lead to a response of hostility and hurt on this particular guideline. I am writing to tell you that my response of hostility and hurt was wrong, and dangerous for me and my faith. To come to this conclusion, you must first understand the history behind Catholic communion, the Catholic view on transubstantiation, acceptance in relation to the Eucharist, the…

    Lewis Use Of Baptism Essay

    • 1492 Words
    • 6 Pages

    There are three things that spread the Christ-life to us; baptism, belief, and the Lord’s Supper (Lewis 61). This statement, by C.S. Lewis, is his example of three ordinary methods in which one can “find new life after we have died and in it become perfect” (Lewis 60). It was the belief of Lewis that because Jesus sacrificed himself, yet he was perfect, humans can be saved from death. Two of Lewis’s three methods, Baptism and the Lord’s Supper, are sacraments in Christianity. The act of baptizing is known as the Sacrament of Baptism. The Lord’s Supper is also known as Holy Communion and Eucharist. There are several different sacraments which are practiced within the many denominations of Christianity.…

    A sacrament is a tangible connection between Heaven and Earth along with how God's love and essence is physically here on Earth. Jesus Christ is the essence of God on Earth in human form. He preaches the ideas and serves as the son of God to his kingdom. When people preach, serve, and worship, God's power is present and the people remember what Jesus was all about when he was on Earth and therefore what God was all about. The concept of God is spread through ideas like the Pentecost, Paul and his conversion, and even in the catacombs of Rome.…

    This morning I attended a weekday mass at All Saints Catholic Church. The church itself is relatively large from what I saw. The exterior had many well-tended trees and bushes, with a sign pointing to the office, and a cross about six feet tall out front by a cement walkway which led to the entrance. The building itself was a taupe color with dark brown roofing and glass doors leading at the entrance. As I walked through the glass doors I was not greeted by anyone, so I followed what everyone else was doing. I noticed a holy water font in front of the doors leading directly to the room of worship. I watched as the casually-dressed Parishioners, all aged at least sixty-five years, and mostly white, middle-class women dipped their fingers into the font and then made the sign of the cross, before entering the worship area.…

Baptism is the cleansing with water that is carried out to symbolically accept a new born into the Christian fold.

    For my observation, I went to a usual Catholic Mass at a parish local to me. I analyzed the texts being used, the words being spoken, and the level of involvement of every member present. I focused on the responses of those in attendance during prayer and the homily, a scripturally-based reflection not consisting of doctrinal instruction, spoken by the priest. Additionally, I attended Eucharistic Adoration, a ritual where one sits in front of the consecrated bread, which is believed to be the true presence of Christ, contemplating the Mystery of Christ. I observed the people who entered and left and if the read Catholic literature or wrote.…

    Communion is the liturgical act celebrated by Christians in honor of Jesus Christ’s death. Through bread and wine, members of the church reenact Jesus’ last supper, remember his sacrificial death, anticipate their reunion in Heaven, and reconfirm their unity with other members of the church. Communion is a central unit of worship in almost all Christian churches, but communion has been a source of conflict among Christians. The Eucharist can vary in tradition among the many denominations of Christianity. Because I attended the Catholic Church and Greek Orthodox Church, I will be focusing on one difference and two similarities between them. Both of these branches of Christianity do not agree on what the bread and wine actually represent or mean.…

    As I do not practice any religion, I thought that for the religious experience project, I would write about my observations as my sister rekindles her faith and practice in Roman Catholicism. My sister and I were both raised Catholic by our parents and both attended Sunday school where our grandmother was our teacher. However, after our parents divorced about 17 years ago, we both strayed away from our faith. I went on to keep an open mind and learn of other religions but never found my fit. My sister has recently started to return to Catholicism, expressing her desire to have her child baptized someday. For this paper, I asked if I could accompany her to mass for the first time in 17 years at our childhood church, St. Cecilia Catholic Church…
