The Eucharist is the memorial of Christ’s Paschal mystery, making present his unique sacrifice in the liturgy of the Church.

The Church continues to make Christ present in human history. In the history of the Church, we find the divine and the human closely intertwined.

Christ died for our sins, to free us from them and redeem us from the slavery that sin introduced into mankind’s life.

Faith in Christ’s real presence in the Eucharist has led the Church to offer adoration to the Blessed Sacrament, both during and outside the liturgy of the Mass.
