What is another name for the Eucharist?

• A. Reconciliation
• B. Holy Orders
• C. Holy Communion or the Mass.
• D. Anointing of the Sick

Answer: (C)

The Eucharist is commonly known by two names that capture its two aspects: Holy Communion and the Mass. Holy Communion emphasizes receiving Jesus in the bread and wine, while the Mass refers to the entire liturgical celebration where that sacrament is celebrated—the prayers, readings, and thanksgiving to God. These terms are the standard ways people refer to the Eucharist. The other options point to different sacraments: Reconciliation is about forgiveness of sins, Holy Orders is the ordination of clergy, and Anointing of the Sick is for healing and strength during illness. So Holy Communion or the Mass is the best answer.
