As the Gospel of Matthew tells us: Jesus gives himself to us in the Eucharist as spiritual nourishment because he loves us. God's whole plan for our While they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing, salvation is directed to our participation in the life of the , broke it, and giving it to his disciples said, "Take and eat; the communion of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Our sharing in this is my body." Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you, for this is my this life begins with our , when by the power of the Holy blood of the covenant, which will be shed on behalf of many Spirit we are joined to Christ, thus becoming adopted sons and for the of ."

By eating the Body and drinking Recalling these words of Jesus, the the Blood of Christ in the Eucharist we become united to the professes that, in the celebration of the Eucharist, bread and person of Christ through his humanity. "Whoever eats my flesh wine become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ through the and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him" (Jn 6:56). In power of the Holy Spirit and the instrumentality of the priest. being united to the humanity of Christ we are at the same time Jesus said: "I am the living bread that came down from ; united to his .

By being united to Christ through the power of the Holy appearances of bread and wine—the glorified Christ who rose Spirit dwelling in us, we are drawn up into the eternal from the dead after dying for our sins. This is what the Church relationship of love among the Father, the Son, and the Holy means when she speaks of the "Real Presence" of Christ in the Spirit.
