Th Feast of the
Unleavened Bread is linked
with the Passover and originally
a pilgrimage feast that demanded
the attendance of the adult male
at the sanctuary. Participated in by
the farmers at the beginning of the
barley harvest.

and celebrated at

Unleavened
Bread is made
without leaven or
yeast, so it does not
rise. The symbol goes
back to the Great
Exodus. (Exodus 12:34)

The Passover sacrifice

today refers to the Exodus
event where Moses told
the Israelite families to
sacrifice a lamb each
and mark their doorpost
with the lamb’s blood.

Eucharist means “to give thanks” 31

Eucharist
Because it is an action of
δὲ thanksgiving to God. It comes
ὀφείλομεν εὐχ from the Greek word
eucharistein and
αριστεῖν τῷ euologin which recall the
θεῷ Jewish blessings that proclaim
(always give thanks God’s works: creation,
redemption, and
to sanctification.
God)
L ord’s
Supper
Because of its connection
with the supper which
Jesus took with His disciple
on the eve of His passion
and also because it
anticipates the wedding
feast of the Lamb in the
heavenly Jerusalem
Breaking of Bread
Because Jesus used this
rite when, as master at
the table, He blessed and
distributed the bread at
the Last Supper
Eucharistic Assembly
Because the Eucharist

is celebrated amid the
assembly of the
faithful, the visible
expression of the
Church.
Memorial
Because it
commemorates the
Lord’s Passion and
Resurrection
Holy Sacrif ice
Because it makes present
the one sacrifice of Christ
the Savior and includes the
Church’s offering. The term
holy sacrifice of the Mass,
sacrifice of praise, spiritual
sacrifice, pure and holy
sacrifice are also used, since
it completes and surpasses
all the sacrifices of the Old
Covenant.
Holy
Communion
Because by this sacrament,
we unite ourselves to Christ
who makes us sharers in His
Body and Blood to form a
single body.
Holy Mass
Because the liturgy in which

the mystery of salvation is
accomplished concludes
with the sending forth
(mission) of the faithful, so
that they may fulfill God’s
will in their daily lives.

St. Thomas Aquinas
He explained the
process by which
the bread and wine
become the body of
Christ called
transubstantia
tion
St. Thomas Aquinas
When Urban IV ordered the
annual celebration of Corpus
Christi, St. Thomas wrote the
liturgy for it. His liturgy
included “Laude Sion,” the
vesper hymn “Pange Lingua”
(concluding the “Tantum
Ergo” sung during the
Benediction of the Blessed
Sacrament and many more.
St. Thomas Aquinas
He is also known
of his deep
devotion to the
Eucharist and for
his piety and deep
love for Christ.
St. Thomas Aquinas
One night in the chape
the Dominican priory
Naples where St. Thom
was then living, it is to
that a sacristan watch
the saint at prayer.
St. Thomas Aquinas
The sacristan saw him lifted
into the air and heard Christ
speaking to Thomas from the
crucif ix. Christ asked him,
“Thomas, you have written
well of me. What reward will
you have?” He said, “Lord,
nothing but yourself.”
St. Thomas Aquinas
No greater mind has
been seen among the
children of men than
the mind of Thomas
Aquinas, and he laid
all his genius at the
feet of Christ.

Passion: grant, we beseech, that we, in worshipping
[venerari; in addition to simple worship, may also mean
worshipping in order to receive favour] the Holy
Mysteries
of Your Body and Blood, may within ourselves
continually [iugiter], sensibly perceive [sentiamus] the
fruit of Your redemption. You who live and reign
