Lesson Vocabulary

  • Eucharist
    :
    The Eucharist is the Sacrament in which we receive the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ under the appearances of bread and wine. The Eucharist is the source and summit of our Christian life. It is spiritual food for the soul. It is not just a symbol but is Jesus' true flesh and blood.
  • Lamb of God
    :
    Jesus is the Lamb of God whose sacrifice on the Cross freed us from sin and spiritual death. Just as the Israelites had to eat flesh of the Paschal Lamb for the sacrifice to be complete, Jesus gave us His Body and Blood in the Eucharist at the Last Supper for us to receive the blessings of the Passover of the New Covenant.
  • Last Supper
    :
    The final meal Jesus shared with His Apostles. It was a Passover meal. Jesus, the Lamb of God, transformed the sacred meal into the Passover of the New Covenant by giving us His Body and Blood to eat in the Eucharist. (1412)
  • Paschal Mystery
    :
    Christ’s Passion, Death, and Resurrection which saved us from sin and death for new life as sons and daughters of God as the Passover of the New Covenant. (1409, 2017)
