why is the Eucharist the center of our lives???

Question

please explain

Answer 1

Regarding transubstantiation, The Encyclopædia Britannica (9th Ed.) states: “The Church of Rome teaches that the whole substance of the bread and wine in the Eucharist is converted by consecration into the Body and Blood of Christ, in such a manner that Christ in His entirety, including his human soul and His divine nature, is contained in the elements; and that with such a thorough transmutation that not only is the whole Christ contained in the wine as well as the bread, but with the same completeness in each particle of the bread, and in each drop of the wine.” The Council of Lateran of 1215 pronounced accursed any who would in any way doubt transubstantiation.
That this doctrine is not wholly supported by scripture calls into recollection the fact that Jesus would not speak to the crowds except through 'illustration'.
Illustrations are symbolic words used to teach, and not to be taken literally. As such when Jesus said "This is my body"(in some translations) he meant "this represents my body".
The biggest error for those that espouse verses from the Bible is to not recognize that this in fact was Jesus teaching method, and that his illustrations were not ever to be taken literally.
Matt 13:34-35...34 All these things Jesus spoke to the crowds by illustrations. Indeed, without an illustration he would not speak to them; 35 that there might be fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet who said: “I will open my mouth with illustrations, I will publish things hidden since the founding.”

Answer 2

Because it represents the crucifixion and the sacrifice made. When Jesus broke bread during the last supper he said "This do in rememberance of me."

His blood is the blood of the new covenant. It is His broken and bleeding body that ushers us into the throne room of God.

I would say that is a good reason to be at the center.
