Okay, so this might seem like an odd question or a flat-out bad one. As a disclaimer, please know that I do believe in the real presence (as a sacred mystery) and I am certainly not, in any manner, trying to offend any person or even our Lord Christ.

I’ve never posted a thread on this subforum either, so I’m not sure if there’s a unique etiquette for doing such a thing.

So did the first Eucharist (which is the Last Supper) have the real presence of Christ in it? By this, I would mean that the sacramental bread and sacramental wine were truly His body and blood, soul and divinity in its fullness.

Christ was obviously there, being the one breaking the bread and the one administering it to the disciples (Luke 22:19, for example). Of course, Jesus is God, so He is omnipresent. That’s not what I’m referring to, I’m referring to His Being having been within the sacraments, being them.

Thank you for responding to my odd question… :confused:
 
Yes, Jesus was present in the Eucharist, of which he was the priest. He was also present with them at the table, holding the bread and wine and pronouncing the words of consecration: "this is my body; this is my blood. The historical event was a one time event, but the sacramental event transcends time and space, making him present wherever the Eucharist is offered.

Well Jesus did say, “This is my body.”

Take this, all of you, and eat of it,
for this is my Body,
which will be given up for you.

Take this, all of you, and drink from it,
for this** is the chalice of my Blood**,
the Blood of the new and eternal covenant,
which will be poured out for you and for many
for the forgiveness of sins.
Do this in memory of me.

These were the words of Christ. So yes, the real presence would have existed in the first Eucharist.
