Chester M. Diaz<p>In <a href="https://c.im/tags/Communion" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Communion</span></a>: Roman Catholic priests gives only a wafer, but he eats a huge wafer and drinks the wine at the altar. However, Christians receive both body and blood of Christ as a complete meal every first Sunday of the month. Pastors teach and explain the bread and wine that represent Christʼs body and blood! Thatʼs the meaning of the sacrament to receive both body and blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.</p>
