1 The Sacrament of Holy Eucharist UNIT 5, LESSON 4 Learning Goals The Eucharist is the Sacrament in which we receive the Lord s Body and Blood under the appearances of bread and wine. The Eucharist fulfills our Lord s promise to give us Himself, the Bread of Life. The Eucharist was instituted at the Last Supper, the night before Jesus died. The Eucharist is spiritual food for the soul. The Eucharist is not a symbol but is Jesus Christ s true flesh and blood. The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life. There are many titles for the Eucharist that help us better understand the Sacrament.

2 Lesson Plan Materials The Last Supper Titles for the Eucharist The Eucharist The Eucharist Fill-in-the-Blank DAY ONE The Last Supper BY LEONARDO DA VINCI (C ) Warm-Up 287 Convent of Santa Maria della Grazie, Milan, Italy. A. Project the image from The Last Supper (page 287) by Leonardo da Vinci. Give students several minutes to quietly view the art before you say or ask anything. Allow them to come up and stand closer to the image to examine details. B. Once several minutes have passed, ask your students the following questions: ӹ ӹ What do you first notice about this work of art? What do you like about this work of art? How does this work of art make you feel? Where do the colors in the work of art draw your eye? Answers will vary. What is happening in this picture? It is the Last Supper. Who is the person in the middle of the painting? Jesus. Who are the other figures? The Apostles. Can you name any of the Apostles in this painting? From left to right: Bartholomew, James son of Alphaeus, Andrew, Judas Iscariot, Peter, John, Jesus in the center, Thomas, James the Greater, Philip, Matthew, Jude, Thaddeus, and Simon the Zealot. What happened at the Last Supper? It was the last meal shared by Jesus and His disciples and took place the night before He died on the Cross. This was the institution of the Holy Eucharist, where the bread and wine become Jesus real Body and Blood as spiritual food and drink for us. 560 SOPHIA INSTITUTE FOR TEACHERS
3 LESSON PLAN C. Read aloud to your students John 6:48-57: I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died; this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world. The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, How can this man give us [his] flesh to eat? Jesus said to them, Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me. D. Ask your students the following questions: What did Jesus tell the crowd that He was? The bread of life, the living bread that came down from heaven. How did the crowd respond to Jesus teaching? They were confused and argued among themselves, asking how Jesus could give them His flesh to eat. How did Jesus respond to the confusion of the crowd? He explained further that whoever does not eat His flesh and drink His blood does not have life within them. What does Jesus say about His flesh and blood? It is true food and true drink. Overall, what do we understand Jesus to be teaching about in this passage? (Hint: We receive it every time we attend Mass.) The Eucharist, Jesus Body and Blood. E. Read aloud to your students Matthew 26:26-29: While they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and giving it to his disciples said, Take and eat; this is my body. Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you, from now on I shall not drink this fruit of the vine until the day when I drink it with you new in the kingdom of my Father. F. Ask your students the following questions: What is this passage the story of? The Last Supper. How does the painting of the Last Supper help illustrate this Gospel story? Accept reasoned answers. How are the painting of the Last Supper and the passage from Matthew related to Jesus teaching about the Bread of Life in John 6? At the Last Supper, Jesus transformed the bread and wine into His Body and Blood and gave it to His Apostles to eat and drink. Jesus teaching in John 6 was fulfilled at the Last Supper, when He made a New Covenant for the forgiveness of sins. Unit 5, lesson 4 561

Explain to your students that the Catechism of the Catholic Church describes the Eucharist as the source and summit of the Christian life (CCC 1324). The source of something is where it begins. Think of the source of a river, where the water begins to flow. The summit of something is its highest point. Think of the summit of a mountain, the very top peak. The Eucharist is the source and summit of our faith. That means that our Christian faith begins with the Eucharist or flows out of it, and the Eucharist is the greatest expression of our faith. In other words, the whole of the Christian life begins with the Eucharist and is directed toward the Eucharist. B. Have your students turn to The Eucharist (page 288). Ask them to read the information with a partner and answer the focus questions Formative Assessment When students have finished, review and discuss the correct answers to The Eucharist. DAY TWO Warm-Up A. Project Luke 24:30-31, and have a student stand and read it aloud: And it happened that, while he was with them at table, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them. With that their eyes were opened and they recognized him, but he vanished from their sight. B. Explain to your students that this passage from Luke s Gospel comes from a story called the Road to Emmaus. This story takes place on Easter Sunday after Jesus has risen from the dead. Two of Jesus disciples are walking to a town outside of Jerusalem called Emmaus. Along the way, they meet a stranger and have a conversation with him about Jesus suffering and death three days before. The stranger then begins to teach the disciples about everything in the Scriptures that speaks of Jesus. When they reach their destination, the two disciples and the stranger gather together to break bread. 562 SOPHIA INSTITUTE FOR TEACHERS
5 LESSON PLAN C. Ask your students the following questions: What did the person in this passage do while at table with the disciples? He took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them. What do these actions sound like? The Mass. These are similar to the words the priest says during the Consecration. What happened after the breaking of the bread? The eyes of the disciples were opened, and they recognized the stranger they had been traveling with to be Jesus. Then He vanished from their sight. D. Explain to your students that one of the many titles for the Eucharist is the Breaking of the Bread. Just as with the disciples in this story, Jesus is revealed to us in the Breaking of the Bread, the Eucharist. When we participate in the Eucharist at every Mass, Jesus is made known to us. He is literally there with us, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity. There are other important titles for the Eucharist. In this lesson, we are going to consider some of these titles. Activity Have your students turn to Titles for the Eucharist (page 291). Arrange students into pairs and trios. Have each group read Titles for the Eucharist together and then fill in the information on the chart together. Student should complete the graphic organizer by recording what each title means and then drawing a picture to represent each title. Make markers and/or colored pencils available for students to complete the activity. Formative Assessment When students have finished, review and discuss the correct answers to the chart. For each baptismal symbol, call on a few students to share and briefly explain their drawings.

8 The Eucharist Directions: Read the following information about the Eucharist, then answer the focus questions. The Eucharist is the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. The priest at Mass, through the Holy Spirit, transforms bread and wine into the actual Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. This transformation is called transubstantiation. Even though the bread and wine look and taste the same as they did before, they have become Christ s true Body and true Blood. The bread and wine are not just symbols of Jesus Body and Blood. At the Last Supper, Jesus was very clear. When He gave His Apostles the bread, He did not say, This is a sign of my body. Instead, He said, This is my body. Similarly, when He gave His Apostles the cup of wine, He did not say, This is a sign of my blood. Instead, He said, this is my blood. We can believe what Jesus said because He is God. Therefore, we know that the Holy Eucharist is the Body and Blood of Christ. When we receive Holy Communion, we grow closer to Christ. The Eucharist helps us avoid sin and strengthens our charity. It helps us see the face of Jesus in the poor. Just as real food nourishes us and gives us strength, the Eucharist nourishes us spiritually and strengthens our souls so that we can live faithfully as Christians. A desire for eternal life is placed within our hearts. When we receive the Eucharist, we are connected to Heaven, the Blessed Virgin Mary, and all the angels and saints. The Catechism of the Catholic Church no explains that receiving the Eucharist often increases charity in our daily life. So what does increasing charity in our daily life mean? It means that we grow closer to Christ and see things in a different way a more positive and hopeful way. Seeing things in this way leads us to practice the values of the Kingdom of God and to avoid activities that go SOPHIA INSTITUTE FOR TEACHERS

11 Titles for the Eucharist Directions: First, read about some of the different titles for the Eucharist, then complete the chart. Eucharist When we receive the Eucharist, we give thanks to God. The word Eucharist comes from a Greek word, eucharistein, which means thanksgiving. The original Greek word described the main form of worship in the ancient Jewish Temple. This liturgy was called Todah in Hebrew, which means thanksgiving. In the Temple, the Jewish priests would offer a sacred meal of bread and wine. Memorial of the Lord s Passion and Resurrection A memorial is a way of remembering the past. The word remember means to make present again. In the Eucharist, Jesus sacrifice on the Cross is made present again to us. At the Last Supper, Jesus commanded His Apostles, Do this in memory of me. Jesus was not simply asking us not to forget Him. Rather, Jesus The Institution of the Eucharist, by Nicolas Poussin sacrifice is made present to us again at every Mass. Holy and Divine Liturgy The word liturgy originally meant a public work or a service in the name of, or on behalf of, the people. In Christian tradition it means the participation of the People of God in 291 Unit 5, lesson 4 569
12 the work of God. The work of God is our salvation from sin. Through the liturgy, Jesus continues the work of our salvation in His Church. We take part in this work when we receive the Eucharist. Sacred Mysteries The word mystery does not mean a problem or puzzle to be solved. Instead, it refers the great truths of God and our salvation, which are greater than our ability to understand fully. God, however, invites us to know Him and His plan for us and makes these mysteries present to us in the Eucharist in a real, physical way. Holy Communion When we receive the Eucharist we are united to Jesus Himself. We share in the one body of Christ. All who receive the Eucharist participate in the one bread and one cup. This makes us one People of God. We become a common union, or communion, united to Christ and each other. Holy Mass The word Mass comes from the Latin phrase Ite missa est, which means Go, she (the Church) has been sent. These are the last words the priest says at every Mass. This phrase gives us the mission of Jesus Himself. We are called to make disciples of all the nations. Therefore, we are sent forth to carry out this mission and announce the Good News SOPHIA INSTITUTE FOR TEACHERS
