applied to the people when they drink from the chalice, and it
is “poured out for many” on the altar of the Cross. Jesus also is
instituting the new and better covenant prophesied by Jeremi-
ah. This is made particularly clear in Luke’s version, where
Jesus says that the chalice signifies “the new covenant in my
blood” (Luke 22:20).
  The Eucharist thus sums up the themes God established with
his people Israel and elevates them to a new level. The original
events involved the delivery of a single nation from slavery,
the creation of a national covenant, and a journey to an earthly
Promised Land. Now, with the coming of the Messiah, we have
the deliverance of people from all nations from sin, the institu-
tion of a universal covenant, and the journey to the ultimate
Promise Land—heaven.
  The Eucharist in the Church The Passover meal was not
a one-time event but something God’s people did regularly to
commemorate what he had done for them. Similarly, Jesus did
not mean the Eucharist to be celebrated just one time. He told
the disciples, “Do this in remembrance of me” (Luke 22:19),
and it became a regular feature of Christian life. In fact, it was
celebrated far more frequently than the Passover, which was
held only once a year. In his letters to the Corinthians, St. Paul
                                                                      Daily Readings & Reflections
indicates that the Lord’s Supper was celebrated “when you                                            Monday, July 05, 2021

      Genesis 44:18-21, 23b-29; 45:1-5; Matthew 10:7-15
The gospel for today refers to the amazing powers Jesus con-
ferred upon his followers to cure and revive. But we know
many people in Jesus’ day and today do not experience a mira-
cle cure but instead must bear a cross. Our faith gives us the
wisdom to know how and when to bear suffering when a solu-
tion is absent and when to struggle against injustice; both can
be paths to God. Indeed, miracles themselves, the church
teaches, are not merely wondrous events; they are meant to
transform us and bring us closer to God. Which way are you
being called right now? To struggle against suffering and in-
justice? Or to bow to a cross in your life? Over a lifetime, we
may be called to both paths.
