Literally as Jesus said.

Catholics believe the Eucharist, or Communion, is both a sacrifice and a meal. We believe in the real presence of Jesus, who died for our sins. As we receive Christ's Body and Blood, we also are nourished spiritually and brought closer to God.

The Jews knew that He was speaking literally. Jn 6:52 "How can this man give us his Flesh to eat?" On other occasions when our Lord spoke of Himself as a Jn 10:9 "door" or a Jn 15:1 "vine," nobody said, "How can this man be made of wood?" or "How can this man be a plant?" They recognized these as metaphors. But when Jesus insisted, Jn 6:53 "Unless you eat the Flesh of the Son of man and drink His Blood, you have no life in you; he who eats My Flesh and drinks My Blood has eternal life." The Jews who heard this said, Jn 6:60 "This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?" They remembered God's command to Noah and all mankind, Gn 9:4 "Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood." God spoke more forcefully to His chosen people. Lv 17:10 "I will set my face against that person who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people." It was only after Christ's redemptive sacrifice and the Holy Spirit's enlightenment that the Apostles saw the full meaning of our Father's next words. Lv 17:11 "For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it for you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement, by reason of the life." In the Old Covenant our Father in heaven had commanded His children not to eat the blood of animals because we are not to participate in the life of animals. Animals, having no immortal souls, are lower than man in the order of created nature. However, in the New and Everlasting Covenant we consume the Blood of Christ to participate in Christ's eternal life.

Jesus knew we would need a lot of help to become accustomed to the Holy Eucharist. He performed the Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes in the dim light of the original Passover sacrifice Ex 12:6 and of His Crucifixion. Mt 27:45 He performed the four great Eucharistic actions: He took the bread, blessed it, broke it, and gave it to His apostles to feed the people: Mt 14:15 "When it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, 'This is a lonely place, and the day is now over; send the crowds away to go into the villages and buy food for themselves.' Jesus said, 'They need not go away; you give them something to eat.' They said to him, 'We have only five loaves here and two fish.' And he said, 'Bring them here to me.' Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass; and taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces left over."

The three Gospel narratives of the Last Supper are absolutely consistent. Matthew: 26:26 "This is My Body." 26:27 "This is My Blood…" Mark: 14:22 "This is My Body." 14:24 "This is My Blood…" Luke: 22:19 "This is My Body." 22:20 "This … is the New Covenant in My Blood." Jesus' next words instituted the Catholic priesthood: Lk 22:19 "Do this in remembrance of Me."

Jesus assured the Apostles that the Holy Eucharist is a reflection of the heavenly banquet. Mt 26:29 "I tell you I shall not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom."

After His resurrection, Jesus walked with two disciples to Emmaus. When they arrived, He celebrated the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for them; Lk 24:30 "While He was at table with them, He took the bread and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them."

Answer 3

If there is a real Lords Supper, it would be a daily occasion. Instead of joining the Lord we should ask him to join us once a day. After all, if we don't get the message of God, then we are going to roast in our own self-adulation. (no reference to Hell implied)

Answer 4

Christ is now present as King of Jehovah's heavenly Kingdom, which is made up of "the little flock".
So, he is present in Kingdom Power, and has turned his attention to mankind, on earth.

(For more info, see the bk: "Daniel's Prophecy", or "Revelation's Grand Climax -- at Hand!")

What Is the Kingdom of God?" Scripturaly answers the Qs :
- Where is it located?
- Who is its King?
- Do others share in ruling with the King?
http://watchtower.org/library/rq/article_06.htm

Those of that flock who have already died, have already been resurrected to heavenly life beside Christ, to rule with him as his brothers, as King-Priests. Those who have yet to finish their earthly course are those who appropriately partake of the emblems.
Those of the "great crowd, which no man was able to number, out of all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb ..." (Rev 7:9) also attend, & benefit from a Scriptural talk about the value of Christ's ransom sacrifice. These ones entertain the hope of the opportunity of eternal life on earth, as promised:

Jehovah’s Witnesses invite millions to peaceably share in the Most Significant event of the year -- the Memorial of Christ's death:

Reliving Jesus' Last Days on Earth
http://watchtower.org/e/19980315/article_01.htm

Close to 7 million of us world wide will be observing the Memorial, this year.

We all hold these views, because --through thorough, personal study-- we've each found that they are supported 100% by both prophecy --found in God's Own Word--, and world events.
