Since Jesus Christ is the lamb of God and Eternal, everything he does, including redeeming us all via his sacrifice, is eternal and is made sacramentally present at a genuine mass celebration. Since Jesus Christ initially presented it in the shape of a meal at the Last Supper, it is in the form of a meal today. It makes what Jesus Christ did in the past sacramentally visible now, and it is a memorial.

He makes Christ present in the bread and wine via the work of the Holy Spirit. At the mass, the Lord communicates with us via the words of the Scripture as they are read aloud. Christ is also present among the people gathered to celebrate Mass.

In conclusion, during the Eucharistic celebration, the priest's ministry and the work of the Holy Spirit transform bread and wine into Jesus Christ's Body and Blood. Under the guise of bread and wine, the exalted Christ who rose from the grave, is genuinely present: body, blood, soul, and divinity.

God builds relationships with us people by receiving the eucharist, “the body and blood of him”.

• Sit Quietly-  “Sacred silence” is also a part of celebration and is to be observed at the designated times.
• Stay Until the Mass is Over- When the priest announces, "The Mass has ended, go in peace," to which we respond, "Thanks be to God," we need to be seated in our pews through the anthem for the recession.
• Bowing and Genuflecting-  a bow denotes respect and admiration for the subject or for the symbols used to represent them. 
• Receiving Holy Communion- Be aware of what is going on and who you are about to receive as you approach the altar to receive Communion. The Lord Himself is about to be given to you.
