ISB ~ Luke 22 v14 - 23

The Last Supper, where Jesus gathered with his apostles to transform the Old Covenant Passover into the sacrificial banquet of the New Covenant. As Passover recalls Israel’s deliverance from Egypt, so the Eucharist both commemorates and accomplishes our redemption from slavery in sin. Jesus reconfigures this ancient feast by placing himself at the center of its significance:he is the true Lamb offered for sin and given as food to God’s family (Jn 1:29; 1 Cor 5:6-8; CCC 1151, 1340).
