787
From the beginning, Jesus associated his disciples with his own life, revealed
the mystery of the Kingdom to them, and gave them a share in his mission, joy,
and sufferings.215 Jesus spoke of a still more intimate communion
between him and those who would follow him: “Abide in me, and I in you….
I am the vine, you are the branches.”216 and he proclaimed a
mysterious and real communion between his own body and ours: “He who eats
my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him.”217
