II. What is This Sacrament Called?
1328
The inexhaustible richness of this sacrament is expressed in the different
names we give it. Each name evokes certain aspects of it. It is called:
Eucharist, because it is an action of thanksgiving to God. the Greek words
eucharistein139 and eulogein140 recall the Jewish blessings
that proclaim – especially during a meal – God’s works: creation, redemption,
and sanctification.
