do this in remembrance of me.

The key thing here is the word *remembrance*.

Jesus did not instruct His disciples to participate in sacrificing Him, killing Him, but rather to do the ceremony to REMEMBER what HE did.

What Catholics don't seem to realize they are saying in their mass is that they are participating in His crucifixion, in the act of killing Him.

In one sense, we are all responsible for His death, but to participate in His continual sacrifice every time they take communion just kind of tells me that they are missing the point.

Nope It is not. If you diagram that sentence, it is an imperative sentence and the subject,(understood) is "you", the verb is "do" and the SUBJECT of the sentence is "this" the whole sentence could have read "you do this" and it would have been a complete sentence. In remembrance of Me merely gives the reason for the action...unnecessary in the sentence. (4th grade, Mother of Good counsel School) Milwaukee, Wis.
