Take a few minutes today to read and reflect on this powerful insight:

“The Passover of Christ fulfilled and transcended the Jewish Passover. 

It is in the Passover context that the Eucharist was instituted, thus indicating that it is through the Eucharist that the Passover of Christ, his redeeming work, is made available to all. 

It is of the Passover of Christ that the Eucharist is the anamnesis, or memorial.  Just as the paschal mystery was the culmination of Christ’s redeeming work, so the Eucharist becomes the culmination and center of Christian worship.”  [Scott Hahn in his book, The Fourth Cup, p.163, quoting Cheslyn Jones et. al.’s The Study of the Liturgy]

May God Be Praised!
