He Died Once, but His Sacrifice Lives On: The Mass as Sacrifice: Catholic for a Reason III

by Thomas Nash

Overview

�Christ�s one sacrifice and His re-presentation of it in the Mass is a profound mystery.� To help us understand this, Thomas Nash gives a detailed outline of the Jewish understanding of sacrifice and how the New Testament authors would have understood Christ�s death and its relationship with Eucharist. In the Mass the priest �remembers� the sacrifice of His death and participates in the eternal offering of Christ�s death. Nash explains, however, that the Jewish understanding of remembrance was more than just a commemoration: �when the Hebrews remembered an event, God enabled that event to transcend time and impact the present.�
