  Eucharist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church, the Eucharist is one of the seven sacraments, but is also considered the "queen of the sacraments" and "the blessed sacrament", and the institution of the Eucharist is one of the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary.
The Eucharist is a commemoration, or, in Greek, anamnesis [8] of the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Christ (called the Paschal Mystery), understood in the fullest sense given to it in Biblical tradition.
The Eucharist is therefore understood to be not simply a representation of Christ's presence, or a remembrance of his Passion and Death, but an actual participation in the Sacrifice of Christ, the manifestation, in the present, of an event that occurred once for all in time.

 Vatican II: The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy: Excerpts on the Eucharist
For it is the liturgy through which, especially in the divine sacrifice of the Eucharist, "the work of our redemption is accomplished,"[1] and it is through the liturgy, especially, that the faithful are enabled to express in their lives and manifest to others the mystery of Christ and the real nature of the true Church.
Nevertheless the liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed; it is also the fount from which all her power flows.
From the liturgy therefore, and especially from the Eucharist, grace is poured forth upon us as from a fountain, and the sanctification of men in Christ and the glorification of God to which all other activities of the Church are directed, as toward their end, are achieved with maximum effectiveness.

 Catholic Culture : Document Library : A Theological Meditation On The Liturgy Of The Eucharist
In the Byzantine liturgy of St. John Chrysostom the worshipping congregation is not only concelebrating with the angelic court, but make present on earth their heavenly worship insofar as we "mystically represent the Cherubim" in our Eucharistic liturgy.
It seems that before the Eucharistic sacrifice is completed in Holy Communion where we all become "the one body of Christ, a living sacrifice of praise," and "an everlasting gift" to the Father, the Church, as it were, relishes and savors the greatest treasure she has, Christ himself as her own sacrifice.
The Eucharistic Lord remains in the same state as he is during the Eucharistic celebration, the state of self-surrender to the Father and that of nourishing food for us, as long as the empirical signs of bread and wine remain.

Add to this New Zealand’s tendency to divide the Eucharist into “two parts” – with the “first half” led by a lay person, the “second” led by a priest.

Question:  What is the rule concerning reception of the Holy Eucharist?  When a person is late for Mass and has not heard the Gospel, can that person receive the Holy Eucharist?  In times past, it was discussed that the parts of the Mass that were necessary to assist at were the Offertory, Consecration and Communion.
