The Sacrificial Memorial of Christ and His Body, the Church

The Eucharist serves as the memorial of Christ's Passover, representing and presenting his unique sacrifice through the liturgy of the Church, which is his body. In every Eucharistic prayer, there is an anemonesis or memorial prayer that proclaims the mighty works of God for humanity. As the Church celebrates the Eucharist, Christ's sacrifice on the cross is made present and real, offering redemption continually. The Eucharist is not just a representation but a true sacrifice, applying the fruits of Christ's sacrifice, promoting worship, and sanctification.
