We receive the very Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ in the Sacrament of the Eucharist. Additionally, reception of Eucharist is an intimate encounter with Christ, where we sacramentally receive Jesus into our bodies so that we may be more fully assimilated into His Body, the Church.
