Your comment: “ A priest man cannot hold God’s LIFE in a cup of wine. THE LIFE IN CHRIST’S BLOOD was spread upon the Mercy Seat, never poured out into a catholic cup.”

You can believe whatever you want. God gave you free will. It is not the Truth. Did you read the line: Do this in Memory of Me?

j 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.”

20And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which will be shed for you.k

FYI

YOUR TASKS AS A CATHOLIC

Your tasks as a Catholic, no matter what your age, are three:

Know your Catholic faith.

You cannot live your faith if you do not know it, and you cannot share with others what you do not first make your own (CCC 429). Learning your Catholic faith takes some effort, but it is effort well spent because the study is, quite literally, infinitely rewarding.

Live your Catholic faith.

Your Catholic faith is a public thing. It is not meant to be left behind when you leave home (CCC 2472). But be forewarned: Being a public Catholic involves risk and loss. You will find some doors closed to you. You will lose some friends. You will be considered an outsider. But, as a consolation, remember our Lord’s words to the persecuted: “Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven” (Matt. 5:12).

Spread your Catholic faith.

Jesus Christ wants us to bring the whole world into captivity to the truth, and the truth is Jesus himself, who is “the way, and the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). Spreading the faith is a task not only for bishops, priests, and religious—it is a task for all Catholics (CCC 905).

Just before his Ascension, our Lord told his apostles, “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you” (Matt. 28:19–20).

If we want to observe all that Jesus commanded, if we want to believe all he taught, we must follow him through his Church. This is our great challenge—and our great privilege.

Where did you conjure the notion that I deny He established a remembrance of what He was about to do for them and us? Does that help you do believe that mischaracterization of what I have in fact been pounding on, that it is in fact A REMEMBRANCE, and as such metaphorically loaded with deep significance of a spiritual nature. It is not a consuming of His actual, literal blood, for that contradicts His commandments to ALL THEIR GENERATIONS, even the ones to come!

He that hath ears let Him hear what The Word tells us. Luke 22:15-20

15 And He said to them, “I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; for I say to you, I shall never again eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.”

17And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He said, “Take this and share it among yourselves; for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes.” [The liquid in the cup was fruit of the vine; Jesus had just given them a teaching about He is The Vine and the life in the vine gives life to the branches and those not exhibiting life are cur off]

19And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” [Scriptures teach us that not one bone was broken of His body during the crucifixion] And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood." [WEB]

If had not noticed, Jesus POUR OUT the wine in the cup, as the commandment of God is to pour the blood out upon the ground and not to drink it. Was it wine Jesus poured out, or the leftovers of blood he transubstantiated into the cup? ... It was wine used to fuflfill the commandment as a prefiguring of what was about to come with His actrual blood of the New Covenant.
