Selah Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Eternal Father, I offer You the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your dearly beloved Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world. How do we offer God the Body and Blood, soul and divinity of Jesus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thy Geekdom Come Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Simple answer: Jesus Christ offers Himself eternally on behalf of and as the head of the Church and this eternal offering is particularly through the Paschal Sacrifice, in which we participate at the Mass when we make that sacrifice present. Thus not only Christ offers Himself, but the Church offers Christ by participating in the Paschal Mystery (the Church also offers herself through this). While this especially takes place in the Mass, it can also take place through prayer, where individuals raise up Christ as the eternal offering to the Father. It is almost as if we say, "Lord, look once more with love at your Son who has offered Himself for us." I hope this helps. God bless, Micah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
