Page 4 - First Eucharist

Confirmation
Confirmation completes Baptism. A bishop seals us with the gift of the Holy Spirit. God pours out the Holy Spirit on us. The Holy Spirit urges us to love people the way Jesus showed us. The Holy Spirit makes Christians one.
Eucharist
Jesus made himself an everlasting gift for us when he loved us unto Death on the Cross. God raised him up to new life. Before he died, Jesus asked his followers to gather and share a meal to remember him.
At every Eucharist we gather as Jesus asked. A priest leads us in a prayer of remembering and giving thanks. Eucharist means thanks.
We remember and give thanks
for Jesus’ gift of himself on the Cross.
We remember and give thanks that God raised Jesus up to new life.
We remember how Jesus blessed bread and wine on the night before he died. He made bread and wine signs of his love for us that he lived out on the Cross. Jesus comes to us in every Eucharist.
We receive the Body and Blood of Christ in Holy Communion.
