9 Why is the Eucharist still celebrated today? The Church is called to celebrate the Eucharistic Banquet day after day until He comes again. This is an explicit commandment of the Lord Jesus who, upon instituting the Eucharist, said: “Do this in memory of me” (Lk 22,19). For this reason, the Eucharist has been handed down to us by the Apostles and their successors. Therefore, when St. Paul was speaking about the bread and the wine, wrote: “For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you” (1 Cor 11,23). This is a Sacred Tradition which has been transmitted to us faithfully from one generation to another, until to our present day. “Come and eat my bread, drink the wine that I have prepared” (Pr. 9,5) 71
