I believe it would be closer to say that Christ's sacrifice is 'made present'.

English doesn't really have a word for it - the theological word is 'Anamnesis'.

If English doesn't have a word for it, the reality of it then can't exist...Who invented the word Anamnesis??? Do the Germans have a word for it??? The Russians???

The word for made present is 'is'...Or 'am'...'Are'...Re-present isn't really a word...A concept was invented with the idea of Jesus never climbing down off the cross and a word was invented for it...

The sun is shining and it always has since it was created...The sun does not get re-presented everytime you look at it...

And then, what does eating the wafer have to do with Jesus on the Cross anyway??? Are you killing Jesus when you bite into the wafer???

Anamnesis does NOT mean “to make present.” It literally means “to remember again.” Plato uses the same word for one of his philosophical theories, meaning “to remember again” in this same basic sense.

The Catholics merely invent the meaning of words and give them new meanings to satisfy their theology. It is not so as used in the Greek and by the Greeks.
