THANK YOU for posting this. It's one of those things that get pushed to the back burner somehow, and it is SO important to know.

That's not possible.
WHY
Christ states a New Covenant when he says this is my Body and My Blood at the Last Supper. Which is happening on the Old Testament Passover(Which is to be literally eaten forever). How can that be unless its in the New Covenant. Thats the Old becoming the New covenant which connects it to the Cross. Jesus(GOD)the high priest is offering himself. Who is also God the victim. Who is outside of time and space(because he created it) unlike us.
Notice on the day of his crucifixion he hardly says anything. Least of all that the(Old testament) priest has to be present to the victim when offering the lamb. Yet Christ did not say the offering on Good Friday. But the night before. Yet unless he is the great "I AM" Only he could do this. Always present. But of course he is God. Which also explains the continual Mass(Repeat of the Last Supper).
It is so amazing!
The natural mind can't understand it.
Maybe this will help.
