Nobody drinks His blood and eats His flesh...that is pretty sacrilegious...our red wine/grape juice and wafer symbolically remind us of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross...his broken body and shed blood...
How is it sacrilegious when it is exactly what they say in the ceremony?
METAPHOR
Then why say it? I've taken it and they say it every time. The blood of Christ, the body of Christ, sounds like cannibalism to me. I'll pass.
It's a reminder of the last supper. Jesus made the metaphor, not the catholic church. Was the last supper cannibalism? No.
Thank you!!
The Last Supper is when Jesus shared the bread and wine and explains it all.
Have you ever heard of the literary term "metaphor"?
"Metaphors are direct comparisons that state one thing is another"
So when they say..."This is my blood shed for you" and you know you are drinking grape juice that is a pretty good indication it is a metaphor...
Same when they say "This is my body, broken for you"...
Hope this clears it up...
The Catholics believe in transubstantiation...that the communion wine and wafer miraculously turn into Jesus' blood and body...but that is a discussion for another day...
