Our Lord Jesus Christ, on the night before He was to be crucified, instituted the Holy Eucharist. He commanded us to do this in memory of Him. This is how we remember Him. The words of consecration are uttered by the priest in Holy Mass and the miracle of the Transubstantiation occurs, i.e., the bread and wine are converted to the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity. He wants us to eat His Body and drink His Blood, as nourishment. Thus, the salvation that He accomplished on Calvary is made available throughout history, availing every one of it. We need to praise God for this. We need to show our appreciation for this by attending Mass and receiving Holy Communion worthily.
