The Holy Supper has been established by the Lord in order that the church may be joined by means of it to heaven and so to the Lord. This is why it is the holiest thing of the church. (Arcana Coelestia 10519)

"Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it,
and gave it to them and said, 'Take, eat, this is My body.'
Then He took the cup, and when He had given thanks
He gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
And He said to them, 'This is My blood of the new covenant,
which is shed for many.'" 
(Mark 14:22-24)

At the end of His public ministry on earth, the Lord established the sacrament of the Holy Supper. This sacrament can be a vital part of our religious life. Its purpose is to express our bond or link with the Lord God Jesus Christ. In the sacrament, we come before the Lord, ready to receive what only He can give us. To prepare ourselves, we may examine ourselves, read the Word, or reflect on the Lord's great love for the human race. This is a time for humility, recognizing our spiritual dependence on our Heavenly Father. When we come to the Lord in a receptive state, the bread and wine become a spiritual meal, a concrete representation of bringing the Lord's love and wisdom into our lives. We invite you to learn more about the Lord's Holy Supper.
