"Dear friends, we can never thank our Lord enough for the gift he has given us in the Eucharist. It is such a great gift, and that is why it is so important to go to Mass on Sundays. To go to Mass is not only to pray, but to receive Communion, this bread which is the body of Jesus Christ that saves us, forgives us, unites us to the Father. It is beautiful to do this!" (Pope Francis, Audience February 5, 2014)
“At the Last Supper, on the night he was betrayed, our Savior instituted the Eucharistic Sacrifice of his Body and Blood. He did this in order to perpetuate the sacrifice of the cross throughout the centuries until he should come again, and so to entrust to his beloved spouse, the Church, a memorial of his death and resurrection: a sacrament of love, a sign of unity, a bond of charity, a paschal banquet in which Christ is consumed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us” (Sacrosanctum Concilium 47).
The heart of the Mass is offering anew the one redemptive Paschal Sacrifice of Calvary that Jesus Christ made on behalf of all mankind.
Preparation to receive Communion
Preparation to receive Communion
we must prepare ourselves for this great and holy moment. St. Paul exhorts us to make an examination of conscience: "Whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will be guilty of the Body and Blood of the Lord. Let every man examine himself, and then let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For whoever eats and drinks without discerning the Body eats and drinks his own punishment" (1 Cor 11:27-29). Those who are conscious of grave sin must receive the sacrament of Reconciliation before approaching Communion.

Profession of Faith
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

After the Liturgy of the Word comes the Liturgy of the Eucharist, the heart of the Mass. During the Liturgy of the Eucharist, we remember what Jesus did on the night before he died: he took bread and wine, gave them to his disciples, and said, "This is my body; this is my blood." The bread and wine, as well as the people's gifts of money, are brought forward to the altar.
