If you put the instruction of eating His body and drinking His blood (remember that the Jews recoiled in abhorrence at the idea of cannibalism), along with the Last Supper (which replaced Passover for Christianity), and the writing of Paul (as often as you do this), and go to the early Church's practices - they started to celebrate the Mass as often as possible.

Obviously it did NOT; for Passover is a YEARLY meal: still is.

If GOD thought a once a year reminder was good enough for His Chosen People; what makes Christians NEED a DAILY dose of Jesus Blood and Meat®?

It runs like this: communion with the Body and Blood of Christ is communion with God. It is spiritually very good. If one does it it frequently, it is good. If you wish to commune with God on a daily basis, both through prayer and through the Eucharist, that is a good and Christian thing. It keeps God first and foremost. We have many Catholics that are Chreasters (Christmas and Easter). They believe that twice a year is enough. They are not normally devout. Devout people put the worship of God to the front of their priorities.
