'die Messe' and 'die Eucharistie' both belong to Christian, especially Catholic, worship. 'Messe' means the whole service with prayers, readings, a sermon, and other fixed parts. 'Eucharistie' refers more specifically to the central sacrament within this service, in which bread and wine are received. Learners may confuse the words because the Eucharist is an important part of the Mass. Remember: 'Messe' is the whole service; 'Eucharistie' is a central part of it.
