Precious Blood of Jesus, Day 24

 

(Mother Mary and St Mary Magdalene wipe the Blood of Jesus from the street, while Jesus on the way to Calvary(Source the Passion of Christ))

Jesus said, this cup is the New Covenant in my Blood. 

1 Corinthians 11:23–27 (NJB): 23 For the tradition I received from the Lord and also handed on to you is that on the night he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread, 24 and after he had given thanks, he broke it, and he said, ‘This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ 25 And in the same way, with the cup after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Whenever you drink it, do this as a memorial of me.’ 26 Whenever you eat this bread, then, and drink this cup, you are proclaiming the Lord’s death until he comes. 27 Therefore anyone who eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily is answerable for the body and blood of the Lord.

St Paul explained here about the Eucharist, which Jesus established the Everlasting Eternal Covenant, The Eucharist which we received from the Lord. We all believe in this tradition and so we attend the Holy Mass. We do this in the  remembrance of Jesus’s death and resurrection. He has given his Body to eat and to drink his Blood. Through his Blood he established the New Everlasting Covenant in eternity. So, whenever we take part in the Holy Mass, while receiving the Holy Communion, examine ourselves and about our unworthiness. We should reconcile with the Lord before consuming him, otherwise we should be answerable for the Body and Blood of Jesus our Lord!
