DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME

"DO THIS IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME"

ANAMNESIS

• Another word for remembrance
• Sacrificial overtones
• "Offer this my memorial sacrifice"
• Jesus' invitation to to join him, act as he acted

MASS

• We participate in jesus sacrificing himself to the father on our behalf
• Most sacred moment in our relationship with jesus
• We are most closely united with him during the celebration of the mass
• Our opportunity
• We humble ourselves and give thanks and praise to god for sending jesus

ROMAN MISSAL, NO.72

• "For christ took the bread and the chalice and gave thanks;
• He broke the bread and gave it to his disciples saying,
• 'Take, eat and drink: thís ís my body; this í the cup òf my blood
• Do thí in memory of me"
• The whole eucharistic celebration is centralized around this.

DURING EUCHARIST

• Pause and remember the possibilities jesus has made available
• A positive, confident proclamation of our State Of Forgivenessand Road To Immortal Life
• Jesus did not do all this just for us to forget him and the reason he came
• Communion is not intended to focus on what you were
• Focus on who god has made you to be; christ-like
