Eucharist and martyria

John 6:30-35 

Martyria simply means witnessing.  We give witness to the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist through his body and blood.

We give witness to Jesus as the bread of life that comes down from heaven to save us and to free us from sin.

We give witness to Jesus' words and actions and take them as our own.

We give witness to Jesus to lead us and other loved ones to salvation.

We give witness to Jesus even if it means offering our lives to him.

Our participation in the Eucharist means that we take upon ourselves the very body and blood of Jesus and that we too become his body and blood for the salvation of the world.
