Christ the Passover Lamb
Read Exodus 12: 1-28.
Every year, the Jewish people remember the Passover Lamb during the Feast of Passover. Now carefully read what Jesus said to the apostles as they were actually celebrating the Passover in Luke 22: 7-20.
Eucharistic Prayer
Read 1 Corinthians 11: 23-26.
It's notable that we find this in one of Paul's epistles. Where do you think St Paul heard these words? Where do you hear these words? What do they mean to you when you hear them?
