The institution of the Holy Eucharist in first -century Judea
Passover. Manna. Temple Bread. The Cross.
According to Brant Pitre, these aren’t separate biblical stories, they are all part of the same Eucharistic mystery.
I.
Most all discussions about the Eucharist on social media begin with competing opinions and isolated proof texts.
In the subsequent thread my intention is to offer the reader a different type of analysis.
Over the next several posts, I’ll be examining the arguments of biblical scholar Brant Pitre, whose work in “Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist” draws from Scripture, Second Temple Judaism, Jewish liturgy, typology, and early Christian history to explain how first-century Jews would have understood Jesus’ words about His Body and Blood.
Whether you ultimately agree with his conclusions or not, understanding his argument provides a deeper framework for interpreting John 6, the Last Supper, and the Eucharist.
The thesis put forth is simply this:
The meaning of the Eucharist cannot be fully understood apart from the Jewish world in which Jesus lived and taught. – at Las Vegas, NV
Salve Regina - Hail, Holy Queen
Salve, Regína, Mater misericórdiæ, vita, dulcédo, et spes nostra, salve. Ad te clamámus éxsules fílii Hevæ. Ad te suspirámus, geméntes et flentes in hac lacrimárum valle. Eia, ergo, advocáta nostra, illos tuos misericórdes óculos ad nos convérte. Et Iesum, benedíctum fructum ventris tui, nobis post hoc exsílium osténde.
O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo María.
V. Ora pro nobis sancta Dei Génetrix.
R. Ut digni efficiámur promissiónibus Christi.
Orémus. Omnípotens sempitérne Deus, qui gloriósæ Vírginis Matris Maríæ corpus et ánimam, ut dignum Fílii tui hábitaculum éffici mererétur, Spíritu Sancto cooperante præparásti: da, ut cuius commemoratióne lætámur; eius pia intercessióne, ab instántibus malis, et a morte perpétua liberémur. Per eúndem Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen.

Besides being the World’s best evil genius, Dr. Doofenshmirtz is also a proud Catholic and cannot stand the deception of Perry the Protestant Platypus. Happy All Saints Day Eve

❤️ If life feels unbearable, you don’t have to carry it alone.
Run to Mary. ❤️ She is your Mother, and she lovingly intercedes for you, leading you always to her Son, Jesus. When you have no words left, let her hold you close and bring your broken heart to Him.
You are not forgotten. You are loved. Let it be. 🙏🏻🌹
Ave Maria. ❤️
Important message from Fr Dan Reehil for men struggling with lust.
There is a particular saint that can help.
What of the believer who is saved but does not perform any works? No prayer, no Bible study, no charity, no selfless acts.
“Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.”
-C. S. Lewis

This is actually the greatest time to be alive.
We live in an age of comical wickedness, surrounded by every evil imaginable: foreigners, traitors, cowards, degenerates, communists, and atheists.
This great evil touches the lives of every man, woman, and child in the West. Making itself known at every turn and in every corner of society.
God, our traditions, our beliefs, our families, our history, and our very way of life are under constant attack and desecration by diabolical manipulators at the top and their golems in the name of tolerance.
What more could you ask for?
Never have the odds been more dire. Never has the demand to ascend so high in defiance of evil been so absolute. Such glory was denied to all generations before ours.
We are the luckiest men who have ever lived.

“Do as thou wilt - that shall be the whole of the law”👹
Individuals applying logic, reason and genuine study - naturally gravitate to the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.
Something ancient is returning.
Neo-Gnosticism.
Secretly leading unsuspecting persons to atheism, the Neo-Gnostic fools the uninformed into believing that Christ’s flesh was tainted by sin thus destroying belief in His divine nature on a subconscious level. Clever strategy by the enemy.
Divine Motherhood (Theotokos)
Defends Christ’s divinity and humanity in one Person.
Perpetual Virginity
Defends Christ’s divine origin and supernatural Sonship.
Immaculate Conception
Ensures Christ’s flesh was completely untouched by sin.
The Assumption
Proves Christ’s physical victory over death and decay and bodily resurrection awaits His followers.
Jesus: “Eat My flesh… drink My blood.”
Paul: “The bread we break—is it not a participation in the Body of Christ?”
