Fiat_Voluntas_Tua Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 The word todah denotes a sarificial meal shared with a friend in order to celebrate one's gratitude to God. A todah begins by recalling some mortal threat and then celebrates man's divine deliverance from that threat. It is a powerful expression of confidence in God's sovereignty and mercy. When Christ was on the Cross you said, "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" The people that heard Christ say this would have recognized this verse. It starts off as a cry of dereliction, and ends on a triumphant note of salvation. Cardnial Joseph Ratzinger has written, "Structurally speaking, the whole of Christology, indeed the whole of Eucharistic Christology, is present in the todah spiritually of the Old Testament." (Feast of Faith p.57) Ave Maria, Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC Just Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 From what i've learned, the Eucharist is the "todah" ofrering, the only offering left after Christ's Death. As some hebrew prophet's wrote.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorphRC Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 Eucharist and Todah both mean = Thanksgiving. How do you have a Thanksgiving thanksgiving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laudate_Dominum Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 [quote name='JeffCR07' date='Aug 8 2004, 10:59 PM'] If you are still interested in the topic, please read Cardinal Ratzinger's [u]Spirit of the Liturgy[/u] in which he talks specifically of the relation between the Todah (most specifically as it regards the sacrifice of Melchizadek) and its fulfillment in the eucharist, which you will find in Chapters One and Two. His writing is deep, but if you can get through it, it is packed with information. [/quote] Also, Ratzinger's earlier book, [u]Feast of Faith[/u], profoundly discusses this topic. I love the todah prefigurement of the Eucharist. Thanks for bringing it up peeps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
