This is Holy Family School of Faith.

Welcome to our Rosary Meditation.

I am joined by Theresa the Great, Mason, the Militant, and my Habibi.

Let us begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Let's call to mind all of those we've promised to pray for.

On this holy Thursday we meditate on the great gift Jesus has given us on this day

in the Eucharist. When Jesus instituted the Eucharist at the last supper, he

commanded the Apostles, Do this in memory of me.

What did Jesus mean by this? In memory or memorial means the death and resurrection of Jesus are to be made

present every time the Eucharist is celebrated so that his saving work may continue in us and in the world.

In the Catechism of the Catholic Church we find,

when the Church celebrates the Eucharist, she commemorates Christ's death and

resurrection and it is made present.

The sacrifice Christ offered once for all on the cross remains ever present and as often as the sacrifice of the cross by which Christ has been sacrificed is celebrated on the altar.

The work of our redemption is carried out.

Thus the Eucharist is a sacrifice because it represents, makes present the sacrifice of the

cross because it is its memorial and because it applies its fruit.

That is why we can say the sacrifice of Christ and the sacrifice of the

Eucharist are one single sacrifice and in the Eucharist

the church is as it were at the foot of the cross with Mary united to the offering and intercession of Christ.

Therefore, the saving work of Jesus is made present in the Mass
