 Beliefs about the Eucharist
Roman Catholics believe that the
Eucharist is so important that
they should make an effort to go
to church and celebrate it every
week. This is called going to
MASS.
They believe that Jesus meant
his words: this is my body, this
is my blood literally, therefore,
the bread and wine change
literally into the body and blood
of Christ, although they may look
and taste the same. This change
is called Transubstantiation and
Roman Catholics say that they
believe in the Real Presence-
that Jesus is really Present in the
bread and Wine!
Roman Catholics also believe that
Jesus gave up his life for us. This
is called a Sacrifice. He was put
to death to allow human sin to be
forgiven.
Roman Catholics believe that by
going to Mass every week they:
*strengthen their relationship
with God.
*they are united together.
*are given inner strength to live
according to God’s will.
