For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you (1 Cor 11:23a)
The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” (1 Cor 11:23b-24)
In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” (1 Cor 11:25)
For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. (1 Cor 11:26)
So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. (1 Cor 11:27)
Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. (1 Cor 11:28)
For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. (1 Cor 11:29)
Father most holy,
who willed to associate Our Lady of Sorrows, Woman of the New Covenant,
to the sacrifice of your Son; through the merits of his precious blood,
grant, we pray, that your Church, born of Christ’s pierced side,
may always celebrate the memorial of his work of redemption
with the love our Mother Mary showed.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen. (Mary, Woman of the New Covenant)
Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; but they were kept from recognizing him. (Lk 24:13, 15b)
He asked them, “What are you discussing together as you walk along?” “About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. (Lk 24:17)
The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him; but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place. (Lk 24:20-21)
He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?” (Lk 24:25-26)
And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself. (Lk 24:27)
As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther. But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them. (Lk 24:28-29)
When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. (Lk 24:30-31)
They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together and saying, “It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon.” (Lk 24:33-34)
Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread. (Lk 24:35)
