As a Catholic community, our primary way to remember Jesus is through our worship together in the Sacrament of the Eucharist. We recall Jesus'words and actions at the Last Supper when he asked his disciples to break bread and share the cup of wine "in memory of me" (Luke 22:19)
Another blessing comes from the scripture of the Gospel of John 20:21-22, "Jesus said to them 'Peace be with you'. As the Father has sent me, so I send you. And when he had said this, he breathed on them and soaid to them, 'Recieve the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive anf forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained'."
