Precious Blood of Jesus, Part XIV
The Insttiution of the Eucharist, the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ our Lord!
Luke 22:19–20 (NJB): Then he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.’ 20 He did the same with the cup after supper, and said, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood poured out for you. Jesus and his apostles gathered in the Upper Room to share their Passover supper. Jesus is now establishing the Eucharist with his own words; raising the bread, he says, "This is my body," and lifting the cup of wine, he says, "This is my blood, poured out for you." Jesus established the New Covenant by spilling his own blood on the cross at Calvary. Jesus sat down with the Apostles to share the Passover Meal, the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. Jesus was going to sacrifice his body on the Cross so that they could have eternal life. Before his passion and death, he would like to impart this most pure sacred mystery to them 'the Everlasting Eternal Covenant'. This was our Heavenly Father’s plan for the salvation of all souls.
