Sr. Julia Walsh wrote an EXCEPTIONAL book on the Eucharist, Communion, brokenness you must read. In Catholicism, the Eucharist can be simplified into meaning the body of Christ present in the bread and wine. Yet, it also has the meaning of Thanksgiving. There's also the term of Holy Communion and idea of sacrifice all pointing to Jesus offering himself at the Last Supper and the cross.

In her book “For Love of the Broken Body: A Spiritual Memoir,” Sister Julia expands our view of being part of the body of Christ, being fractured but still united in Christ, seeing one another as united to God, and seeing God present even through our suffering.
