2. The Eucharist was a matter of life and death for ancient Christians. How might the Eucharist still be a matter of life and death for us today?

3. What does it mean to be one body in Christ? How has the Eucharist helped you become one with the Church?

4. Parishes in different locations celebrate the Eucharist in different ways. Do you think liturgical variety is good? Why or why not?

5. Why are the actions “take, bless, break, and give” so important to the celebration of the Eucharist? What is the significance of each action?

6. In what ministries of the Eucharist have you participated? What have you gained from these experiences? In which ministries do you have a desire to participate? How might you fulfill this desire?

7. The Eucharist has been described as a many-faceted jewel because it needs to be looked at from different angles if it is going to be appreciated. What is your favorite “angle” on the Eucharist? Why does it enrich your faith so effectively?
