VII. The Eucharist – “Pledge of the Glory To Come”

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1403
At the Last Supper the Lord himself directed his disciples’ attention toward
the fulfillment of the Passover in the kingdom of God: “I tell you I shall
not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new
with you in my Father’s kingdom.”²⁴⁰ Whenever the Church
celebrates the Eucharist she remembers this promise and turns her gaze “to
him who is to come.” In her prayer she calls for his coming: “Marana
tha!” “Come, Lord Jesus!”²⁴¹ “May your grace come
and this world pass away!”²⁴²
