Was Jesus an organ donor?
My Dearest Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
Was Jesus an organ donor? I think if you looked on the back of Jesus’ driver’s license you would see that he checked the Organ Donor box. One organ donor can literally save a hundred live from tissue and organ transplants. Jesus gave his flesh and his blood and they have literally saved millions and maybe billions of lives. The Eucharist is the greatest sacrament of our faith. It is the source and the summit of our faith. Jesus gave us this gift at the Last Supper. Jesus took the bread and said, “This is my body which is shed for you.” He then took the cup of wine and said: “This is the cup of my blood which is shed for you.” Jesus gave us an unending supply of his flesh and blood so that we could be saved from our sins. While this sacrament was given to us on Holy Thursday at the Last Supper, it was a foreshadowing to the Cross he would bear for us on Good Friday. In the transubstantiation, we say “Christ has died” to signify the glorious sacrifice he made for us. He gave his whole body and blood to us for our salvation. Jesus is the Lamb of God, the lamb that freely poured out his blood for us during the Passover Feast. He donated his flesh and his blood to us that night so we could be continually saved through the sacrament of the Eucharist. It is the Eucharist that is the nourishment that sustains our body for our journey to the cross. On the cross, his body and blood were sacrificed for us in the greatest act of humility. His blood that he shed washed away our sins. Jesus has given us a gift that keeps on nourishing us; it provides new life every time we receive it. The body and blood of Christ are the true “Gift of Life.” Have you received it today?
A Simple Prayer
“Jesus, Lamb of God,
You take away the sins of the World.
Have mercy on us!”
See you at Mass today. Jesus wants to give you the gift of life.
