Do you open your Bible? If not, please do in he following places:

Vine: "I am the vine; you are the branches." John 15:1
 
Door:  "
So Jesus again said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.  All who came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep did not heed them.  I am the door; if any one enters by me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. John : 10:7-9 
 
Stone: "
Come to him, to that living stone, rejected by men but in God's sight chosen and precious; 
and like living stones be yourselves built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 
For it stands in scripture: "Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and he who believes in him will not be put to shame."  
1Peter: 2-4-6

Lamb of God: "The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" John 1:19

“1Peter: 2-4-6”


Are you trying to say that believers are supposed to offer the ‘sacrifice’ of the Eucharist?

The sacrifice of Jesus Christ our High Priest is offered by Himself, and only once.

Heb_10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

The sacrifice offered by the faithful is... ourselves. Our devotion to God, the faith in our hearts, and the praise on our lips.

Rom_12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

Heb 13:15-16 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. (16) But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

Sorry about the formatting there. I will remember not to take things from that website.
