Holy Communion
Catholics do NOT "take" Communion, they RECEIVE Holy Communion from the priest or a duly authorized lay minister of the Eucharist. You receive Holy Communion because Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ commanded it, saying, Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. For the complete dissertation of Our Blessed Lord on receiving Holy Communion, read the entire sixth chapter of St. John's Gospel.
The Catholic Church believes that the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist is not a symbol, but it is actually Jesus himself. He is hidden in the form of bread so he can be with us. On the Last Supper, he did say "This is my body, which will be given up for you...This is my blood, which will be given up for you. Do this in remembrance of me."
Holy Communion is a Christian rite of passage which represents a boy or girl taking their first piece of bread during church. Holy Communion represets Jesus' body and blood that he shed for us.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.II Corinthians 13:14
Communion is not simply 'ordinary' food and juice (wine). The priest consecrates--blesses--these as being the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. But it is also a person and public "communion" between ourselves and Christ, and between us and other believers. So a person who takes Communion in the privacy of their home risks removing the sacredness of the Sacrament, and losing out on the reverent but celebration of 'communion'.
Jesus did. He loves us and didn't want us to go to hell. Jesus loves us very much.
Holy Communion helps us grow in grace and helps us become closer to God.
jesus teaches us htis beacause he want to make us be like him
There are, according to Lutherans, two sacraments: Baptism and Eucharist. The Sacraments are means of salvation provided for us from Jesus Christ. The Baptism is eternal, and can by no means be heaved; any baptism in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit is accepted. There's only one baptism for everyone.The Eucharist is the Communion, where bread and wine (fermented or non-fermented; Lutherans disagree whether the wine has to be fermented (alcoholic)) are blessed, prayed over and distributed to the congregation. Some churches practice closed communion, which means that only members of the church, and--perhaps--members of churches in communion with the actual church is allowed to participate in the communion; others practice open communion, which means that every baptised person is welcome to the Altar. Lutherans advocate the thesis of so-called Real Presence, that the wine and bread remain wine and bread, but are also at the same time the Blood and Body of Christ, transformed through the Holy Spirit.If you are unsure whether or not you are allowed to participate in a Communion, ask the minister for guidance.
In holy communion, we receive the gift of Jesus Christ himself and are joined more deeply to him. All who have received him in the eucharist are strenghtend as the body of christ. The holy spirit unites us in our love for christ
Yes Jesus died on the cross for us to save us from our rightful sin punishment.
