This lesson examines the celebration of the Mass and how the gifts of bread and wine are transformed in the Body and Blood of Jesus. When we receive Holy Communion, our souls are strengthened, our venial sins forgiven, and we are united with other Christians in the Body of Christ.

This lesson examines the Eucharist as a sacrifice, and its foreshadowing in the Old Testament — especially as seen in the Passover. In the Old Covenant, God saved the physical lives of His people, the Israelites, through the blood of a lamb.

It is this sacrifice of Jesus’ Body and Blood that we commemorate every time we celebrate the Eucharist at Holy Mass.
Ancient people offered animal sacrifices to praise God, to thank God, to mark new beginnings, and to show sorrow for their sins.
The sacrificial lamb was a sign of the Passover that saved the Israelites from the Angel of Death.
