Paul to the Corinthians 11:23-26: For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night in which he was betrayed, took bread; and after giving thanks, he broke it and said: “This is my body, which is for you; do this in memory of me.” Likewise, also after having supped, he took the cup, saying: «This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, every time you drink it, in memory of me." For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes. Bread and wine through Holy Communion become the body and blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ. The Eucharist is the heart and source of community within the Church. Communion brings believers closer to God and provides spirituality
