We partake of him spiritually and not physically.

Then communion is not necessary. Simple prayer is partaking of Him spiritually.

We have received spiritual life through the body and the blood and that is the experience that is remembered through the communion.

Gazing upon a crucifix reminds me of His sacrifice, too. Why do we have to eat something, too?

We taste bread and wine because on the physical level we are partaking of bread and wine

So every time I crack out the red wine and some dry white toast, I'm spiritually partaking in God? Does something else happen at Mass that makes it different than wolfing down Brown'n'Serve rolls and a jug of Gallo?

Gazing upon a crucifix reminds me of the 2nd commandment.
