This Homily (17 minutes) given by Fr. Thomas Weise explores the mystery of the Eucharist. From the time of the first Passover Meal the Hebrew people have had a strong tradition of eating of the lamb of sacrifice in order to actualize the salvation effected by the sacrifice. Jesus is the Lamb of sacrifice effecting the new covenant. Therefor we must eat the Eucharist in order to partake in the saving work of Christ on the Cross. We then go out into the world, filled with Christ to bring God's Real Presence into our homes, schools, and places of work.
Readings: Genesis 14:18-20, Psalm 110:1-4, 1 Corinthians 11:23-26, Luke 9:11b-17.
