The Eucharist is usually referred to as our greatest treasure.
t the Last Supper, Jesus said, “Take this bread. It is my body.” Then he said, “Take this and drink. This is my blood. Do this in memory of me.”
Catholics believe this was the First Eucharist, that through a miracle the bread and wine actually became the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
Catholics reenact the Last Supper during every Mass, where God, acting through the priest, changes the bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
This is a great sacrament of thanksgiving and unity of Catholics.
By the way, the Orthodox, Lutheran and many Anglican Churches also believe in the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.
For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, sections 1322 and following: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt2sect2chpt1art3.htm
With love in Christ.

The Holy Eucharist

Jesus Christ TRULY, TRULY present in the Holy Eucharist, as He promised.
Nowhere else on Earth can He be found as such.
Receiving Jesus in the Holy Eucharist is the closest a earth bound human can be to Heaven.

Without a doubt the Eucharist, which is the body, blood, soul and divinity of Christ. Without it we cannot have life in us, as Jesus said. (Jn 6:53)

it's wealth in gold and precious materials and art which in my opinion would be filthy if Christ came and saw and that none of it have been sold and given to the poor.
I'm talkning about most basillicas and the Vatican and Vatican museum.
