The reading from Exodus narrates a sacrificial meal shared between Moses and the elders and the Lord. Their participation in the meal indicates that the Israelites agree to enter into a covenant relationship with the LORD. The blood sprinkled on the altar and the people signifies the ratification of the covenant binding the two parties together. For Christians, the celebration of the Eucharist is seen as the new covenant established by Jesus; we are united with God through our sharing in this meal. The covenant ceremony in Exodus prefigures the Christian Eucharist. The author of the Letter to the Hebrews says that Christ entered into the sanctuary and acquired our eternal redemption by the price of his blood. The earlier covenant made with Moses and the Israelites provided for ongoing sacrifices with the blood of goats and calves ; now, Christ is mediator of a new covenant, which leads to the promised eternal inheritance. His death is once for all ; his sacrifice makes him mediator of a new covenant that reconciles us to God. In Mark s Gospel today, Jesus institutes the Eucharist at the Last Supper. During the course of the meal, he takes, blesses, breaks, and gives the bread to his disciples, stating, This is my body. Similarly, with the cup, he says, This is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed, anticipating his upcoming crucifixion. The phrase for many actually means for all ; it is a translation of an inclusive Semitic figure of speech. Our English translation, though literal, does not capture Jesus s intention. His blood is shed for all. His sacrifice has implications for the whole world. Taking place within the context of the feast of Passover, Jesus s Last Supper is understood as inaugurating a new covenant. For Reflection: How has my understanding of the Eucharist grown over the years? How does my reception of the Eucharist impact my life?
