They posted a 4 man guard of Roman soldiers (far more disciplined than the temple guards they usually used), and rolled a massive stone over the entrance so that no one could get inside.
well in a catholic church the eucharist is about Jesus Christ. we take the bread and wine to the priest and the priest is actually Jesus but in priest form and the priest (Jesus) converts the bread and wine into the body and blood of christ. when we take the body and blood, we are receiving the eucharist. eucharist has an H in it btw
The Jewish authorities would not have wanted to steal Jesus' body; they wanted to insure that the disciples didn't steal it. Matthew 27:64 - "Therefore command that the tomb be made secure until the third day, lest His disciples come by night and steal Him away, and say to the people, 'He has risen from the dead.' So the last deception will be worse than the first."
Catholics believe in the doctrine of transubstantiation, which teaches that during the Eucharist, the bread and wine are transformed into the actual body and blood of Jesus Christ, while still retaining the appearance of bread and wine. This is based on the belief in the priest's power to act in persona Christi, or in the person of Christ, during the sacrament of the Eucharist.
A humeral veil is used by the priest or deacon whenever there is Benediction, in which the blessed sacrament ( body of Christ) is exposed in a device called a Monstrance. It used to cover his hands so that the focus is on Jesus and not on the priest
The priest represents Christ. At the Alter the Holy Spirit works through the priest to turn the bread and wine into the body and blood or Our Lord Jesus Christ. As Christ made the Church His bride the priest on earth marries himself to the Church.
At a particular part of a catholic mass, the priest changes the bread into the "Body of Christ" and after this point the Holy Communion is referred to and considered as "the body of (Jesus) Christ".
Roman Catholic AnswerYes, under very rare and specific circumstances. If a Christian who is not a member of the Church is in danger of death and can not receive the Eucharist from their own priest and if they truly believe that the Eucharist is the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ and if they are in a state of grace, and if they ask for it on their own volition from a priest, then it is allowed. Please note that the person asking would probably be an Orthodox or belong to some other schismatic sect. A protestant or other Christian who does not believe that the Eucharist is truly the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ would have no reason to request Holy Communion from a priest, and, would, according to St. Paul, be endangering their life.
Assuming you're talking about the Catholic or other Christian mass, He offers himself through the the body his blood, in a rite performed by the Priest.
A priest would saya prayer for the person before they were thrown overboard.
Every body would kill each other and steal stuff and not be happy
the body is the body of jesus and blood is jesus blood... ! :))
