His command remains



"The apostles, in their recollections, which are called gospels,

handed down to us what Jesus commanded them to do. They tell

us that He took bread, gave thanks and said: Do this in memory

of Me. This is My body. In the same way He took the cup, He gave

thanks and said: This is My blood. The Lord gave this command

to them alone.

Ever since then we have constantly reminded one another of

these things.  The rich among us help the poor and we are

always united. For all that we receive we praise the Creator of the

universe through His Son Jesus Christ and through the Holy Spirit."
