V. The Sacramental Sacrifice Thanksgiving, Memorial, Presence
1365
Because it is the memorial of Christ’s Passover, the Eucharist is also a
sacrifice. the sacrificial character of the Eucharist is manifested in the very
words of institution: “This is my body which is given for you” and
“This cup which is poured out for you is the New Covenant in my
blood.”185 In the Eucharist Christ gives us the very body which he
gave up for us on the cross, the very blood which he “poured out for many
for the forgiveness of sins.”186
