  18. In the Gospel according to John, the story of the loaves and the fishes, chap 6, is when Jesus goes on to teach about the Eucharist. • “Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them” John 6:54-56

  19. During the Last Supper, Jesus shares a Passover Meal with his disciples. Knowing the time for his death was near; he wanted to leave a sign of his continued presence among them. • Jesus broke bread, passed it to them saying; “take, eat; this is my body.” He then passed a cup of wine, saying; “Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant. Which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins” Matt 26:26-28.

  20. After Jesus’ death the Apostles connected the OT’s Paschal Lamb and sacrifice with the words and action of Jesus. • He is the new Paschal Lamb (John 1:29 & 1 Corinthians 5:7) • The Church understands the Last Supper is a ritual that Jesus wanted us to repeat weekly at Mass.
