Remembering Jesus

Remember - Share - Give Thanks

We consider how this "special meal" helps us to remember and give thanks. Like a family meal, the Mass is a time when we gather to share, to talk, to listen and to be nourished: we do this in the presence of Jesus and we learn what it means to follow him.

The story of the last Supper is the foundation of our celebration of the Eucharist. The original meaning of the word Eucharist was 'to give thanks and praise" to God for his wonderful works. As Christians, we remember and give thanks and praise to God for the life of Jesus and our life in him.

When we gather at a Sunday Assembly of the Word and Communion - a gathering held in the absence of a priest and led by lay men and women of the parish, which sustains the local Catholic community - we remember, we give thanks and we share Communion. We use hosts which have been consecrated at a previous mass.
