The Eucharist as a farewell gift and memorial is an meaningful part of Catholic or Christian life. Every Sunday when people receive the Eucharist they remember Jesus sacrificing for us. People honor His words of "Do the in memory of me." Also Jesus left the Eucharist as a farewell gift to humankind.
