The Jewish Roots of Catholic Mass

Did you know the Old Testament foreshadows the Eucharist? There is a lot we miss as modern readers of the Bible. In the Passover, in his sacrifice on the Cross, in his Last Supper, Jesus unites the fullness of the Old Testament and the Temple and the practices of the Jewish people into a divine participation in the worship of God. Bread, wine, and the temple all have deep context to the Jews of Jesus’ time. And Jesus used these elements to institute the Eucharist. In the Mass, our worship of God finds its fullness and fulfillment.

👇 ABOUT 👇
We believe the Catechism is not a textbook, a collection of ideas, or a set of rules. We believe it is the faithful echo of a God who desires to reveal himself to us. The mission of Real+True is to retransform the catechism into a living voice for the modern world. We’re creating videos, stories, animations, podcasts, to unpack and unlock the catechism of the catholic church for the modern world. All these videos are free, and translated into multiple languages for the world.

Real+True is a project of OSV under the patronage of the Holy See and supported by people who join our mission.
