The Eucharist


Because of the Lords Passion and Sacrifice that we Catholics love to contemplate, matter can be sanctified, suffering can be sanctified, flesh can be sanctified, we can be sanctified. Who but a Catholic could have written Canticle of the Creatures, as St. Francis of Assisi did?:

Most High, all powerful, good Lord God, Thine are the praises, the glory, the honour, and every blessing, To Thee alone, most High, do they belong, and no man is worthy to mention Your name.

Praised be Thee, my Lord, with all Thy creatures, especially Sir Brother Sun, Who is the day and through whom Thou givest us light. And he is beautiful and radiant with great splendour; and bears a likeness of Thee, Most High One.

Praised be Thee, my Lord, through Sister Moon and the stars, in heaven Thou hast formed them clear and precious and beautiful.

Praised be Thee, my Lord, through Brother Wind, and through the air, cloudy and serene, and every kind of weather through which Thou givest sustenance to Thy creatures.

Praised be Thee, my Lord, through Sister Water, which is very useful and humble and precious and chaste.

Praised be Thee, my Lord, through Brother Fire, through whom Thou lightest the night, and he is beautiful and playful and robust and strong.

Praised be Thee, My Lord, through our Sister, Mother Earth, who sustains and governs us, and who produces varied fruits with coloured flowers and herbs.

Praised be Thee, My Lord, through those who give pardon for the sake of Thy love, and bear infirmity and tribulation. Blessed are they who endure in peace, for by Thee, Most High, they shall be crowned.

Praised be Thee, my Lord, through our Sister Death, from whom no living man can escape. Woe only to those who die in mortal sin. Blessed are those whom death will find in Thy most holy will, for the second death shall do them no harm.

Praise and bless my Lord and give Him thanks And serve Him with great humility.
When St. Francis looked about and saw God's creation, he saw the Divine Will that created it and sustains it from moment to moment. In its beauty, he saw evidence, he saw "sacrament"! This is the Catholic way.

Nowhere is this acknowledgement of His Incarnation more evident than in the Catholic reverence of the Eucharist.

Taking Communion

2007-09-04 16:04:11 · answer #2 · answered by Anonymous · 1 0

The Great Commission is given in Matthew chapter 28, verses 19-20, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Jesus gave this Great Commission to the Apostles shortly before He ascended into Heaven. The Great Commission essentially gives what Jesus expected the Apostles, and those who followed them, to do.




During the celebration, Jesus and the disciples sang together one or more of the Hallel Psalms (Psalms 111 – 118). Jesus, taking a loaf of bread, gave thanks to God. As He broke it and gave it to them, He said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you.” In the same way He took the cup, and when He had supped and gave the cup to them, they drank of it. He said, “This cup is the New Covenant in My blood; do this whenever you drink of it in remembrance of Me.”

The Eucharist

"This IS My body, this IS My blood." (Matthew 26:26-27; Mark 14:22-24; Luke 22:19-20 -- absolutely parallel in the synoptic Gospels).
In Luke 22:20, recalling Moses in Exodus 24:8, He says, "This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you." He took bread and gave thanks (todah). "Do this," He said, "in remembrance of Me" (Luke 22:19).
On that day, this "Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world" (John 1:29) prepared for His once and for all, perfect Sacrifice.

He did not say anything about "spreading Jesus." He said nothing of himself, but his message. His message had nothing to do with his earthly incarnation. The name Jesus Christ should only refer to his teachings and there is no way a name of a man, as opposed to your earthly actions, can "save" a person's soul. He said spread his WORD. He came as a Messiah, an example of how we should live...in love and not intolerance. His name has nothing to do with his message, so therefore anyone who loves their neighbor and lives in good faith regardless of someone else's adherence to one name or another, is truely doing His work.

Yes, I do this.

And I'm a proud Pagan.

many times 'throwing open a door' ability the guy opens the door so quickly that the door swings all the way and hits the wall. it must be because of the fact they have been excited, happy, or indignant. Jesus reported "supply what belongs to Caesar to Caesar and what belongs to God to God" because of the fact they have been attempting to trick him. They needed him to assert "supply each little thing to God" so as that he could be thrown in reformatory for treason, or "supply each little thing to Caesar" so as that he could be solid out as a blasphemer. yet he did no longer say what truly belongs to Caesar. so which you spot, he outsmarted them. we are asked to "turn the different cheek" because of the fact God does not decide for us to get revenge on human beings. extremely, we are referred to as to sacrifice ourselves as a manner to maintain others. It takes a brilliant form of bravery to enable human beings harm us without staggering returned. a actual coward might run away or hit the attacker returned as a manner to maintain themselves.
