One of 101 titles in the St. Joseph Picture Book Series, this book by popular author Rev. Jude Winkler, OFM. Conv. provides children with simple explanations of the importance of receiving Holy Communion.
Receiving the Eucharist is a very important part of being Catholic because it is how we receive Jesus in a special way. At Mass, during the Liturgy of the Eucharist, the bread and wine are changed into the Body and Blood of Jesus. This is called transubstantiation. When we take the Eucharist, we are not just eating bread; we are receiving Jesus Himself, who gives us strength, love, and grace to live good and holy lives.

The Eucharist is sometimes called Holy Communion because it brings us into a close relationship, or communion, with Jesus. It helps us grow closer to Him and reminds us that He is always with us. By receiving the Eucharist, we are also united with other Catholics around the world who share in this special meal.
Jesus gave us the Eucharist at the Last Supper, saying, "Do this in memory of me." He wanted us to remember His love and sacrifice for us. When we receive the Eucharist, we are remembering what Jesus did on the cross to save us from sin and how much He loves us.
For children, receiving the Eucharist for the first time is a very special moment because it is a big step in their faith journey. It helps them grow in their relationship with Jesus and strengthens them to live as He taught us, by loving God and others. The Eucharist is a gift that keeps us close to Jesus throughout our lives.
