Receiving the Holy Eucharist at First Communion is the most central and important sacrament, after Baptism, in the life of a Catholic. In preparing for the sacrament, children typically go through catechismal training. They will learn how to properly receive communion in a holy and reverent manner, along with Church doctrine and prayer. All this is done to help develop a deep appreciation and understanding of the precious nature of the true presence of the Body and Blood of Christ. First Holy Communion is life itself in the Catholic Church because to receive the Holy Eucharist is to receive Jesus Christ - body, soul, and divinity.
