SCRIPTURE COMMENTARY #475
And when the hour was come, he sat down: and the twelve apostles with him. And he said to them: "With desire I have desired to eat this pasch with you, before I suffer." (Luke 22:14-15)
THE REAL PRESENCE: Our Lord tells His disciples beforehand what is the holy Eucharist which He will presently institute. It is the fulfillment of the Paschal lamb. Therefore the Eucharist must be His own Self, His own Body and Blood, the real Lamb of God, and must be a sacrifice.
[From 'A Practical Commentary on Holy Scripture' by Bishop Knecht, D.D.]
(1899 Douay-Rheims Bible)
