We need to be smeared by Blood to secure our Eternal Lives
Published 2 years, 2 months ago
Description
The first reading tells us the background of today's feast among the Jews. They celebrated the holy Passover. God had instructed the Israelites to slaughter a lamp with certain characteristics and use the blood to mark their doorposts to tell the avenging angel to preserve the occupants. The Egyptians were struck by that Angel. All first-born of man or beast perished. So, the Lord had His Last Supper where He instituted the Holy Eucharist. Here we have the Blood of the new Lamb of God who thus would be saved and brought to eternal life.
