Liturgical Hints & Ideas:
The theology of the Eucharist is central to any understanding of liturgy, and quite topical in the Year of the Eucharist proclaimed by Pope John Paul II.
The Catholic bishops of Pennsylvania have produced an excellent booklet called Questions and Answers on the Eucharist and have granted permission for us to reproduce excerpts here.
Please contact the Communications Director for the Pennsylvania Catholic Conference for copies of the full booklet, or to obtain permission to reproduce excerpts.
The mailing address and website are found at the end of this page.
What is the relationship between the Eucharist and the Last Supper?
The origins of the Eucharist are found in the Last Supper.
The Catechism teaches us that in order to leave them a pledge of this love, in order never to depart from his own and to make them sharers in his Passover, he instituted the Eucharist as the memorial of his death and resurrection, and commanded his apostles to celebrate it until his return; 'thereby he constituted them priests of the New Testament' (1337).
In the context of the Last Supper Jesus instituted a new memorial sacrifice.
As a perpetual memorial to his death and resurrection, in the course of the Passover meal with his apostles, he took the bread, "blessed and broke it and gave it to his disciples and said, 'Take, eat, this is my body'" (Mt 26:26).
In like manner he took the ceremonial cup of wine, "gave thanks and passed it to his disciples saying, 'this cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood'" (Lk 22:20).
Finally, he commanded them: "Do this in remembrance of me" (I Cor 11:24).
Like the Passover meal, this memorial sacrifice of the new law is both sacrifice and sacred meal.
Both aspects remain inseparably a part of the same mystery.
In an unbloody re-presentation of the sacrifice of the cross and in application of its saving power, the Lord is offered in the sacrifice of the Mass when through the words of consecration and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, Christ is present in a sacramental form under the appearance of bread and wine to become the spiritual food of the faithful.
What does it mean that Jesus died once and for all?
It is true that there is only one sacrifice - the self-giving of Christ on the cross at Calvary.
Once and for all Jesus, who was the victim for our sins, offered himself up for our redemption.
"Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred which redeems them from the transgressions under the first covenant" (Heb 9:15).
This one great sacrifice was accomplished by Jesus, the priest and victim, who offered himself on the altar of the cross for our redemption.
This sacrifice need not and cannot be repeated, but it can be re-presented so that we are able, sacramentally and spiritually, to enter it and draw spiritual nourishment from it.
While it is true that we cannot be physically present at Calvary, there is a real, sacramental and spiritual
sense in which we are present as we participate in the Eucharist since the merit obtained for us through the
death of Jesus is applied to us in what we call the paschal mystery - passover from death to life.
