The Command of Christ: Do this in remembrance of Me

The last night our Lord Jesus Christ was with His disciples before His Passion, He gave them a command. He took bread and wine, gave thanks blessing them both saying, "This is my Body and this is my Blood. Do this in remembrance of me." This was not a suggestion of something for them to consider doing when they gather. It was a command from the love of Christ our God Who offered His disciples forgiveness of sins, healing of their souls, and eternal life through that which He had blessed for them. Tonight we celebrate both the command and the gift of Christ; Holy Eucharist.
