The Institution of the Eucharist card
“This is my body which is given for you. Do this in memory of me.”Luke 22:19

At the Last Supper, on the night before He suffered, Jesus takes bread and wine and gives His Body and Blood to the apostles as food and drink, the new covenant in His Blood.

Fruit of the mystery: Adoration

Adoro Te Devote

Godhead here in hiding, whom I do adore, masked by these bare shadows, shape and nothing more, see, Lord, at thy service low lies here a heart lost, all lost in wonder at the God thou art.

St. Thomas Aquinas; tr. Gerard Manley Hopkins (d. 1889)
