III. The Eucharist in the Economy of Salvation

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

Then came the day of
Unleavened Bread, on which the passover lamb had to be sacrificed. So Jesus
sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the passover meal for us,
that we may eat it….” They went … and prepared the passover. and when
the hour came, he sat at table, and the apostles with him. and he said to them,
“I have earnestly desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer;
for I tell you I shall not eat it again until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of
God.”…. and he took bread, and when he had given thanks he broke it and
gave it to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you. Do this
in remembrance of me.” and likewise the cup after supper, saying,
“This cup which is poured out for you is the New Covenant in my
blood.”¹⁶⁴
