Oh, you're talking about communion. The symbolic rite. My church does that every few months or so. We use grape juice i/o wine too. It's a symbol to remind you of his sacrifice.

CONSUME THE SACRED HOST! GET BACK TO THE PRIMITIVE--WHEN MAGIC RULED INSTEAD OF SCIENCE!!! Hoc est enim Corpus Meum. Hic est enim Calix Sanguinis mei, novi et aeterni testamenti: mysterium fidei: qui pro vobis et pro multis effundetur in remissionem peccatorum. Because of the above, it is not okay to refer to the Blessed Sacrament as "bread" or to the Precious Blood as "wine." Once the bread and wine have been consecrated, they are no longer "bread" and "wine"; they are Christ -- Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity, and the proper words to use to speak of them are "Blessed Sacrament," "Eucharist," "Precious Blood," "Sacred Host" ("Host" comes from the Latin word "hostia" meaning "victim"), etc. The consecrated Hosts and Precious Blood are and will remain Christ regardless of the faith of the people in the pews. They are and will remain Christ whether on the Altar or in the tabernacle or in your mouth or, God forbid, on the floor. [YIKES!] They are and will remain Christ for ten years or a thousand years, as long as the accidents of bread and wine remain. The Precious Blood is always consumed totally by the priest at the Mass [Don't let good wine go to waste!], and the priest will always consume one Sacred Host, distributing others to the people, if present. Remaining Hosts are kept in a ciborium inside the tabernacle between Masses, and this Divine Presence is signalled to us by the sanctuary lamps that burn always outside the tabernacles of our churches and invite us to adore Him and be in His Presence to pray. fisheaters.com
