During the Eucharist, why does the priest take a piece of the bread and drop it into the wine?

ANSWERS: 1

Alatea

As the priest places a piece of the Sacred Host into the chalice, he prays, "May this mingling of the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ bring eternal life to us who receive it." This gesture then represents the unity of the Sacrament; the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus is truly and fully present in both the Precious Blood in the Chalice and the Sacred Host on the paten.
