The Holy Week of the Christian calendar. Why do we take the Holy Eucharist.

The Last Supper precedes the most important event before Christ suffer on the Cross to take away our sins.

The Holy Eucharist or Holy Communion has always been one of the most important aspects of Christianity. The Catechism of the Catholic Church strongly asserts the "Real Presence" of Jesus' body in the Eucharist; this is to say that the sacrament is not symbolic of the body and blood of Jesus but rather that it is his body and blood of Christ.

The Last Supper: Before Jesus was crucified
The Last Supper is one of several major events in the earthly life of Jesus Christ that are recorded in the Bible. The Last Supper is a description of the last meal Jesus Christ had with His disciples prior to His arrest and crucifixion on a cross about 2,000 years ago. The Last Supper contains many significant principles, and continues to be an important part of Christian lives throughout the world.

The Last Supper: The Significance
The Last Supper is described in three of the four New Testament Gospels, Matthew, Mark and Luke. Here are some of the life-changing highlights, as recorded in the Gospel of Luke. First, Jesus predicts He will suffer soon after this meal and it will be His last meal prior to finishing His work on behalf of the kingdom of God.

Luke 22:13-20
13 They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.
14 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table.15 And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.”
17 After taking the cup, he gave thanks and said, “Take this and divide it among you. 18 For I tell you I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”
20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.[a]

The synoptic gospels, Mark 14:22-25
22 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take it; this is my body.”
23 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
24 “This is my blood of the[a] covenant, which is poured out for many,” he said to them. 25 “Truly I tell you, I will not drink again from the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

Matthew 26:26-29
26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.
27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

1 Corinthians 11:23-26
23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:
24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as often as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

Are You Saying
Christ's Spirit Flies Into The Sacraments ??

If That's What We Mean
Then I Don't See Why It Can't

The Ritual Remains The Same Either Way

Karpenter, it's clearly written in the Gospel of Mark 14:22-25, Luke 22:13-20; Matthew 26:26-29; and 1 Corinthian 11:23-26. And if you refrain or doubt the Gospel, it is your choice. No one is forcing you.

For 2000 years the Catholic Church of Christ follow this for Jesus said: "Do this in memory of me." This is the new and everlasting Covenant for the forgiveness of sins

The Bread and Wine before taken as a Holy Eucharist is Consecrated in prayers by the Priest. One of the Holy Sacraments is the Holy Orders. That Priest are given the Sacrament by God to Consecrate to become the blood and body of Christ. The 7 Sacraments are from the beginning of Christ Gospel thru the Apostles.

Many Lutheran Churches also practice the Holy Eucharist called the Holy Communion.
Your Protestant religion don't have this however.

Read the Gospel of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and 1 Corinthian. Jesus ordered to do this in memory of Him. The is the everlasting Covenant that Jesus gave to his people stated on the Gospel. This is the most important part of Jesus Life that he left us His Covenant with us. It is the new and everlasting Covenant with His people.

Eucharist in Lutheranism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Eucharist in the Lutheran Church (also called the Mass, the Sacrament of the Altar, the Lord's Supper, the Lord's Table, Holy Communion, the Breaking of the Bread and the Blessed Sacrament[1][2]) refers to the liturgical commemoration of the Last Supper. Lutherans believe in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, affirming the doctrine of sacramental union, "in which the body and blood of Christ are truly and substantially (vere et substantialiter) present, offered, and received with (cum) the bread and wine."

How the Sacraments were formed.
There are seven sacraments of the Catholic Church, which according to Catholic theology were instituted by Jesus and entrusted to the Church. Sacraments are visible rites seen as signs and efficacious channels of the grace of God to all those who receive them with the proper disposition. The sevenfold list of sacraments is often organized into three categories: the sacraments of initiation (into the Church, the body of Christ), consisting of Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist; the sacraments of healing, consisting of Reconciliation and Anointing of the Sick; and the sacraments of service: Holy Orders and Matrimony.

All Churches Do
I've Never Heard Of A Church That Didn't Have Communion

We Are All Aware Of That
No One Disagrees With It

All The Rest Is Denominational Theology

Again:
Are You Saying The Spirit Of Christ
Enters The Sacraments As They Are Blessed

I Can't See Why Not
Or Whether You Think It's Symbolic
The Ritual Remains The Same

Why Is This Such A Bone Of Contention ??

You Do It In Remembrance Of Him, As Ordered
That Is What Matters

===================
I am happy that all Churches do.
This is what Catholics believe:

When a priest pronounces the words of Eucharistic consecration at Mass, the bread and wine, by the power of the Holy Spirit, are changed into the Body and Blood of Christ, which were given for us in sacrifice. "(Through him, and with him, and in him, O God, almighty Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is yours, forever and ever." Amen.)

The Holy Eucharist or Holy Communion has always been one of the most important aspects of Christianity. The Catechism of the Catholic Church strongly asserts the "Real Presence" of Jesus' body in the Eucharist; this is to say that the sacrament is not symbolic of the body and blood of Jesus but rather that it is his body and blood of Christ.

May God bless you Karpenter.

The Spirit Of God Enters The Bread And Wine ??

That Idea Isn't A Problem For Me
It's Not Important At All, Really

Christ Said 'Do This In Remembrance Of Me'
That We Do The Wine And Bread Ritual Is What's Important

Perhaps that is what your Church believe.

For the Catholics believe that the sacrament is not symbolic but the bread and wine after the consecration becomes the real body and blood of Christ thru the Holy Spirit.

Likewise,
Lutherans believe in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, affirming the doctrine of sacramental union, "in which the body and blood of Christ are truly and substantially (vere et substantialiter) present, offered, and received with (cum) the bread and wine."
