I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread, and, after he had given thanks,
broke it and said, "This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me." In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me." For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes. (1 Cor 11:23-26)

The oldest account of the Institution of the Eucharist is this passage from Saint Paul. The formula: "I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you . . . " indicates material that Paul has learned and in turn hands on to us. Today’s photo is of a mosaic showing the Divine Pelican. The pelican became a Eucharistic symbol of Christ because of a medieval legend it was believed that in times of want, a mother pelican would pierced its own breast to feed its young. Happy Father's Day to all!
