A. What we receive is the greatest gift of all; Holy Communion. As the catechism says: ‘To receive communion is to receive Christ Himself who has offered Himself for us’ (1382). When we receive Holy Communion, we truly receive the Body and Blood of the Lord. We will never be more intimately united to Jesus than in Communion, and we will never receive anything so valuable in helping us to model our lives upon His. Holy Communion helps us to become like Christ, because it is Christ Himself who we receive.
