communion is a metaphor. The bread or cracker is meant to represent the body of christ, and the grape juice (only catholics use wine) is meant to represent his blood. The idea is that consuming the body and blood of christ (metaphorically speaking) will help you become more christ-like yourself (meaning more purity and less sin). Atleast thats how I understand it to be.
