When the hour came, he took his place at table with the apostles. He said to them, I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer, for, I tell you, I shall not eat it (again) until there is fulfillment in the kingdom of God. Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and said, Take this and share it among yourselves; for I tell you (that) from this time on I shall not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes. Then he took the bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me. And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which will be shed for you. -The 5th Luminous Mystery

Question from Marie on 4/11/2008:

At a neighboring parish, the priest and extraordinary ministers say "Life of Christ" before placing the host into the recitpient's hand. Is this allowed?

Answer by Rev. Mark J. Gantley, JCL on 4/12/2008:
This is illicit. The proper words are, "The Body of Christ."
