The Eucharist Sustains Us
2 a. The Bishop of Rochester talks about the positive things about the Eucharist. He says that people gather to renew our love and devotion to Jesus Christ who is truly present in the most holy Eucharist. The issue today is that many people go to celebrate the Eucharistic sacrament with God, but they don’t actually know the full meaning about this or why we do it
2 b. The whole article supports the eucharistic liturgy / sacrifice. The article says that the Eucharistic Sacrifice is the memorial of the death and resurrection of the Lord, in which the sacrifice of the cross is perpetuated over the centuries.

For example when people approach the celebration of holy mass or any of the sacraments with this spirit of gratitude, it essentially changes our attitude toward the sacramental nature of the church and moves us closer towards God because we are celebrating with him. When I go and celebrate, I sometimes don’t know what the full meaning behind the celebration is and the article explains very clearly how us as Catholics can better understand the Eucharistic Sacrament
3 b. I greatly agree with the author’s stance (Bishop of Rochester) for a couple of reasons. The first reason is that he has a great point about the Eucharistic teachings and how we as Catholics can fully understand the connection that we have with Jesus during the Eucharistic Sacrifice. The second reason is that the Bishop talks thoroughly about the Eucharistic sacrament and he also says that m...
