Saturday
The Last Supper.
At the Last Supper Jesus knew that His disciples would not be at the foot of the cross as He laid down His Body and poured out His Blood.
So He made it possible for them to be there just the same only Sacramentally as He took the bread and said, “This is my Body which will be given up for you,” and “This is my Blood which will be poured out for you.”
Through the Last Supper, the disciples were able to share in the cross of Jesus. For the Body that He gave them to eat and the Blood that He gave them to drink , and the Body that He gave up on the cross and the Blood that He poured out on the cross are ONE and the SAME! The Mass therefore IS the Last Supper and the Sacrifice of Christ made present to us as it was to His disciples in the Upper Room.
