There are two major problems with this line of thought. Even when the service (or Mass) is completed, the leftover bread is kept and venerated in thanks to God for providing the transformation and the nourishment. The ceremony somehow perpetuates the ever-present crucifixion. Once the bread and wine are blessed, Christ’s crucifixion is presented again to those in attendance. They believe that Jesus instituted communion as a way of allowing believers to participate in the ongoing sacrifice of the cross. This concept is hard even for Roman Catholics to fully explain. They cannot explain how, but they believe this transformation (called transubstantiation) allows God to spiritually nourish the partaker to better serve Him and to be Christ to the lost world. In the case of communion, they believe once the priest has blessed the wine and the bread, the wine becomes Jesus’ blood and the bread becomes His flesh. There's a line in the song Father of Jesus by Jonathan David Helser that puts this so beautifully, " You reached into the clay / Pulled a man up to Your face / Knelt into the dust, and You kissed us with grace / You covered all the space / And all the distance between me and You.The “real presence” of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Lord’s Supper is a doctrine of Roman Catholicism (and some other Christian denominations) that teaches that, instead of being symbolic rites, communion and baptism are opportunities for the real presence of God to appear. "Then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature" (Genesis 2:7). For in the very beginning of ages, God spoke everything into existence by the power of His word, but He used His hands to craft man. He is that close, that intimate, the one with whom our soul loves- here is rest. Quite unlike the agnostic "watchmaker theory" in which a creator made everything, set the divine clock, and then sat back and let everything tick, tick, tick, do its thing, the hand of God is as apparent in our lives as every breath is. He is the sustenance of our souls and the substance of our bodies- He is the holder of our burdened hearts when surrounded by the world's calamity, the Breather of life itself, and the One who moment by moment sustains it because of His presence. Everything He touched was evidence of His voice and all earth was engrained with the power of His word, and now people needed to ask Him to speak up if He spoke too quietly for their ears to hear. Every word Jesus spoke on earth was confined- the One who spoke all things into existence and whose voice is like thunder was bound by the mouth of man. The pure and holy eyes of Jesus hold within them the entire story of the universe and humanity, they saw the fall, saw the death, saw the destruction, and saw the cross. As our emotions are tarnished, His are not. The compassion we see well up in Him time after time was unmarred by the bent nature of human emotion and He felt the extent of the emotional life in a way we never can. Jesus Christ is Himself the fullness of God in human flesh, His every cell is bursting with the glory of the Creator, and the heartbeat in His chest holds the inconceivable depths of all the love Heaven, completely unbound by time and space, is capable of.
