Q. 866. When do things lose the Indulgences attached to them?
A. Things lose the Indulgences attached to them: (1) When they are so
changed at once as to be no longer what they were; (2) When they are
sold. Rosaries and other indulgenced articles do not lose their
indulgences, when they are loaned or given away, for the indulgence is
not personal but attached to the article itself.
Q. 867. Will a weekly Confession suffice to gain during the week all
Indulgences to which Confession is enjoined as one of the works?
A. Weekly confession will suffice to gain during the week all
Indulgences to which confession is enjoined as one of the works,
provided we continue in a state of grace, perform the other works
enjoined and have the intention of gaining these Indulgences.
Q. 868. How and when may we apply Indulgences for the benefit of the
souls in Purgatory?
A. We may apply Indulgences for the benefit of the souls in Purgatory by
way of intercession; whenever this application is mentioned and
permitted by the Church in granting the Indulgence; that is, when the
Church declares that the Indulgence granted is applicable to the souls
of the living or the souls in Purgatory; so that we may gain it for the
benefit of either.
LESSON TWENTY-SECOND.
ON THE HOLY EUCHARIST.
Q. 869. What does the word Eucharist strictly mean?
A. The word Eucharist strictly means pleasing, and this Sacrament is so
called because it renders us most pleasing to God by the grace it
imparts, and it gives us the best means of thanking Him for all His
blessings.
Q. 870. {238} What is the Holy Eucharist?
A. The Holy Eucharist is the Sacrament which contains the body and
blood, soul and divinity, of our Lord Jesus Christ under the appearances
of bread and wine.
Q. 871. What do we mean when we say the Sacrament which contains the
Body and Blood?
A. When we say the Sacrament which contains the Body and Blood, we mean
the Sacrament which is the Body and Blood, for after the Consecration
there is no other substance present in the Eucharist.
Q. 872. When is the Holy Eucharist a Sacrament, and when is it a
sacrifice?
A. The Holy Eucharist is a Sacrament when we receive it in Holy
Communion and when it remains in the Tabernacle of the Altar. It is a
sacrifice when it is offered up at Mass by the separate Consecration of
the bread and wine, which signifies the separation of Our Lord's blood
from His body when He died on the Cross.
Q. 873. {239} When did Christ institute the Holy Eucharist?
A. Christ instituted the Holy Eucharist at the Last Supper, the night
before He died.
Q. 874. {240} Who were present when our Lord instituted the Holy
Eucharist?
A. When Our Lord instituted the Holy Eucharist, the twelve Apostles were
present.
