Not a good answer to the question.

If the eucharist gives life, like y’all Catholics claim, then why the need to *recharge* every week, or go to hell?

Doesn’t it last?

Is our sin stronger than the forgiveness and grace and mercy of God?

I realize my response was somewhat flippant. I was pointing out the primary benefit of receiving the Eucharist in Holy Communion; an intimate union with Christ Jesus.

This physical union with the body and blood of Christ preserves, increases, and renews the life of grace that we receive from the Holy Spirit at Baptism. Receiving this gift of life helps us to mature in faith and strengthens our desire to die to sin and to live for God.
