"At the last supper Jesus uses the bread and wine to represent his body and blood. He then tells us to, Do this in memory of me. That is what the Church is celebrating."
The Church believes that the Eucharist is more than a symbolic memorial, but that something supernatural occurs during the consecration of the communion wafer - what is called "transubstantiation." And the Mass has traditionally been described as a sacrifice, although I am rusty on the theological technicalities behind the belief.

Define “THIS”/”THAT”. Do WHAT?
I think this is all man’s “interpretation” of what Jesus meant. I think WAY too much has been read into it.
Jesus was resurrected ONCE, not every Sunday.
