![]() Did Christ intend The Eucharist to herald the end of meat consumption and the dawn of a New Vegetarian Kingdom?

DOES MEAT CONSUMPTION CORRUPT THE EUCHARIST?Whether deemed Transubstantiation, Consubstantiation, Virtualism, Dynamism or Symbolism, The Eucharist epitomises the profound fecundity of Jesus Christ; a proclamation of peace, an outpouring of compassion and ultimately revelation of Love Eternal. The night before He was betrayed Christ shared the Passover with His disciples, initiating what is variously referred to as Holy Mass, Lord's Supper, Breaking of Bread, Holy Communion and Eucharist: "Jesus took bread, and when He had said the blessing He broke it and gave it to His disciples. 'Take it and eat,' He said, 'this is my body'. Then He took a cup, and when He had given thanks He handed it to them saying, 'drink from this, all of you, for this is my blood, the blood of the New Covenant, poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.'" (Matthew 26:26-28.) Accepting The Eucharist, Christians commit themselves to the New Covenant; a covenant sealed with the blood of Jesus Christ and indelibly inscribed with His testimony to boundless love, mercy and compassion. |
