what does the Eucharist mean to you?

Question

The Meaning of the Eucharist

Answer 1

You know the actual Catholic belief is that the little piece of bread physically turns into the body of Christ. I became an atheist shortly after finding that out.

Answer 2

Eucharist literally mean's "Thanks giving"

Personally, I feel like a little girl who's dancing on daddy feet when I'm invited to the Eucharistic supper.
