Holy Eucharist

Holy Eucharist, also known as Holy Communion, is receiving the body and blood of Jesus Christ in the form of consecrated bread and wine. To receive Communion worthily, one must be free from mortal sin, have the right intention, and observe the fasting requirement of one hour prior. Preparing involves acts of faith, contrition and focusing on Jesus. After receiving, one should spend time in adoration, thanksgiving and asking God for blessings. Frequent reception of Communion, even daily, aids a holy life through closer union with Christ and increased grace.
