1 Corinthians 11:23-26 Consecration Words 6 June 2024

1Co 11:23 For the tradition I received from the Lord
and also handed on to you
is that on the night he was betrayed,
the Lord Jesus took some bread,
24 and after he had given thanks,
he broke it, and he said,
'This is my body, which is for you;
do this in remembrance of me.'
25 And in the same way,
with the cup after supper, saying,
'This cup is the new covenant in my blood.
Whenever you drink it,
do this as a memorial of me.'
26 Whenever you eat this bread, then,
and drink this cup,
you are proclaiming the Lord's death until he comes.

This part of Saint Paul's letter forms the core of our Catholic communion service.

Tradition Coming From Jesus

Saint Paul was not a direct witness present on the last supper. That makes the 'tradition' that Jesus revealed to Saint Paul, and not contradicted by the other Apostles, so trustworthy.

Prayer

Jesus, I ask for many believers in my country.
