Homily / To perpetuate this gift of the Eucharist, Jesus instituted the priesthood at the Last Supper.
Three Points of the Homily:
1. The Gift of the Eucharist
St. Paul recalls in 1 Cor 11:23-26 how Jesus instituted the Eucharist during the Last Supper, the Passover Meal. He is presenting himself as the new Passover Lamb that will be slaughtered. There is a new unleavened bread, the Bread that is the Body of Jesus. The blood of the lamb is now replaced with the blood of Jesus and instead of putting in the doorpost and it will be put on our lips, the door post of our soul.
