John 6:52
If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, for the life of the world.

1 Corinthians 10:16
The chalice of benediction, which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? And the bread, which we break, is it not the partaking of the body of the Lord.

1 Corinthians 11:27 found 2
Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord.

Matthew 26:26
And whilst they were at supper, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke: and gave to his disciples, and said: Take ye, and eat. This is my body. And taking the chalice, he gave thanks, and gave to them, saying: Drink ye all of this. For this is my blood …

1 Corinthians 11:24
And giving thanks, broke, and said: Take ye, and eat: this is my body…

Luke 24:35
And they told what things were done in the way; and how they knew him in the breaking of the bread.

I could multiply the examples. We Catholics have the great gift of the Eucharist where the true personal relationship with Christ is to be found. We become ONE with Christ in the heavenly liturgy. We approach the Throne of the Lamb when we approach the altar. Heaven and Earth become one in spirit. As you know, there are those who deny this great gift, but we must defend it. The Eucharist is the consumation of the worhsip of the church. As it is written,For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they shall be two in one flesh.This is a great sacrament; but I speak in Christ and in the church. Christ came down from His Father in heaven and left His mother on earth and built His church on Peter. He now clings to the Church which is His wife and becomes one flesh with it. We have such a great sacrement which puts us into one flesh with the Bridegroom who becomes one with the Bride. Praise God always for this gift! Amen and Blessings to all!
