"Do This in Memory of Me"
From the time of the Apostles, the Holy Mass has been the central act of Christian Worship (Lk. 1:42). It is in the form of the Celebration of the Eucharist ―thanksgiving that the Lord Jesus instituted at the Last Supper, when he commanded his Apostles, “DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME” (Lk. 22:19).
The Eucharist is expressed in three aspects: (1) The Eucharist is the Memorial of Christ’s Sacrifice on the cross in an unbloody manner; (2) The Eucharist is the Real Presence of the Lord Jesus; (3) The Eucharist is also a Holy Communion with the Lord.
JESUS CHRIST
Gospel of Luke 22:19-20
"Then he took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in memory of me.”
And he did the same with the cup after supper, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood."
