TODAY, CORPUS CHRISTI: The solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ: During His Last Supper---the night before His suffering and death (agony), Jesus established the Eucharist, as all other Israelites together with His disciples ate the Pasqual Lamb.  It was the old custom, when the Israelites were giving thanks to the Lord for all earthly goods that they received from the Lord, and for deliverance from Egyptian slavery and the crossing of the Red Sea.  They were miraculously saved through the Blood of a Lamb --- saved by marking the doorposts of their houses.  Salvation comes to us through the Lamb, which is Jesus.  We received the grace of sonship through Jesus, through Baptism and Jesus' death.  So by that grace we are able to enter the «promished land» - - - heaven.  Jesus took unleavened bread for the New Testament sacrifice.  That bread reminds us about Jesus' wounded body which becomes the food for all Christians.  The red wine is another element which is used in Jesus' sacrifice; that wine reminds us about Jesus' blood poured out from Jesus's side during His agony.  The covenant that the Lord made with the Israelites was meant only for the chosen Jewish people, while the New Testament is made in the Blood of the Very Son of God, and is meant for all nations.  The Redemptive Blood is poured on all people and the fruits of salvation are given for all men and women all over the world.  Jesus said: «I shall not drink again the fruit of the vine until the day when I drink it new in the Kingdom of God.»   In other words Jesus is saying: Even though I am going to die, my life will continue.  He will rise from the dead and begin His Kingdom which will get its final appearance at His final judgment, when all the redeemed will join Him.  That is why the Eucharistic Celebration which we celebrate in memory of His death and His recurrection, is of great meaning.  Whoever eats of this bread and drinks of this cup will have Eternal life, because he eats and drinks the pledge of Eternal life. 

 

 

 

DANAS: BLAGDAN TIJELOVA: Za vrijeme oproštajne, posljednje Večere, uoči svoje pregorke Muke Isus ustanovljuje presvetu Euharistiju.  Kao i svi drugi Izraelci i Gospodin je zajedno sa svojim učenicima blagovao vazmeno janje.  Bio je to stari običaj, kojim su Izraelci željeli zahvaliti Gospodinu za sva zemaljska dobra, koja su dobili; zatim za izbavljenje iz egipatskog ropstva i prijelaz preko Crvenog mora.  Spašeni su gotovo na čudesan način po krvi janjetovoj, kojom su bili namazani dovratnici njihovih domova.  Po Janjetu Isusu Kristu i nama dolazi spasenje.  Po njemu, po krštenju u smrt i muku Isusovu dobivamo milost posinjenja.  Time je i nama omogućen ulazak u «obećanu zemlju».  Gospodin kao materiju novozavjetne žrtve uzima, po uzoru na izraelsko blagovanje, beskvasni kruh, koji podsjeća na izranjeno tijelo Kristovo, koje postaje hranom svim kščanima.  Uzima crveno vino (sve do 14. stoljeća), kad se već pomalo uvodi u bijelo vino za misnu žrtvu.  Takvo vino simbolički podsjeća na krv Isusovu koja je i preobilno potekla za vrijeme Kristove agonije.  Savez, koji je Gospodin sklopio sa Izraelcima, vrijedio je samo za izabrani židovski narod, dok novi savez koji se sklapa u Krvi samog Božjeg Sina vrijedi za sve narode.  Na sve se ljude izlijeva njegova otkupiteljska Krv i plodovi spasenja primjenjuju se na sve ljude širom svijeta.  Isus govori, da više neće piti od trsa vinova sve dok ne uđe u svoje kraljevstvo.  Time želi naglasiti da, unatoč njegove smrti, njegov život ne prestaje.  On će uskrsnuti i time započeti svoje kraljevstvo, koje će dobiti svoj završni izgled na koncu vremena, kad mu se pridruže svi otkupljeni.  Zato je za nas euharistijsko slavlje, koje obavljamo na spomen smrti i uskrsnuća Gospodinova, od velikog značenja.  Tko jede od ovoga kruha i pije iz ovog kaleža, imat će vječni život, jer jede i pije zalog i jamstvo vječnoga života.
