He who abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit for apart from me you can do nothing. His blood is, so to speak, to course through our veins like everliving wine offering us everlasting life! 4.Breaking of the bread – He would be broken for us. ‘Greater love has no man than this, that he should lay down his life for his friends’. 5.Time – Jesus died at the very time when the Temple of Jerusalem was swimming in blood because of the thousands upon thousands of lambs being sacrificed there.

37. The Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, more commonly known by its Latin name the Feast of Corpus Christi, is celebrated in honour of Christ’s institution of the Holy Eucharist on Good Thursday. The introduction of the feast is traced to a vision received by St. Juliana of Mont-Cornillon, early in the 13 th century. On this feast we celebrate Christ’s presence in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar – The Eucharist. Today, this Feast is celebrated worldwide in a variety of different ways but most involve some sort of Eucharistic procession like the one you can see in the following video. Our Faith teaches us that in the consecrated host we find Jesus Christ, truly present. Body, blood, soul and divinity.

42. Adoration is an ancient tradition of the Church. As Catholics we believe that at the consecration during the Mass, the bread and wine cease to exist and in their place are the body and blood, soul and divinity of Jesus. This is the Eucharist. The Eucharist isn't simply a symbol or a sign of Jesus ‐ Jesus is really present under the appearance of bread and wine. At Mass we can make a communion with Jesus in the Eucharist. Outside of Mass, we can visit Jesus (who is present in the Eucharist). When we pray to Jesus who is before us as the Eucharist, we adore him. This is what adoration is.
