"Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who  comes in the name of the Lord!"

Mt 21,9

 
  

"I have greatly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer... Do this in remembrance of me."

Lk 22,15-19


After having taught in the area Jesus decided to return to Jerusalem to do his Father's will - which was the redemption of humanity through his suffering, death and resurrection. He was welcomed by the crowds, but not by the religious leaders who started plotting against him. 
After his return Jesus gathered his disciples and celebrated the Eucharist with them. He instituted this sacrament as well as the sacrament of priesthood. He asked his disciples to celebrate this special meal as often as they could in his memory.
