you proclaim the death of the Lord until He comes

“’This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, ‚This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.’ For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes.” (1 COR 11: 24-26)

In these days we celebrate paradoxes: „the death of the Lord until he comes,” „my body that is for you” or „the cup of His blood” to drink. Paradoxes of faith. Paradoxes of God’s love who died for us to keep us alive and Who dies during every Mass and is forever the Everlasting God. Love given became a new commandment: „love one another as I have loved you.”

„I give you a new commandment, says the Lord: love one another as I have loved you.” (Gospel Acclamation)
