Jesus' Mission was to Institute the Eucharist (Jn 13:1-15) (Holy Thursday)

This is a bold statement; that Jesus' Mission was to institute the Eucharist! Most would say it was to die for our sins, and bring us everlasting life. It is through the Eucharist that we receive our Salvation. In the Eucharist we participate in His Life, Death, and Resurrection. In the Eucharist we choose to unite ourselves to Christ, so as to be united to Him in his Resurrection, and to be united with He who is eternally alive. So by our union with Him, we to are eternally alive. Thank you Lord for the institution of the Eucharist that we celebrate tonight.
