How did our Lord institute the Holy Eucharist?
Our Lord instituted the Holy Eucharist by taking bread, blessing, breaking, and giving to His Apostles, saying: "Take ye and eat, This is My body" and then taking the cup of wine, blessing and giving it, saying to them: "Drink ye all of this. This is My blood which shall be shed for the remission of sins. Do this for a commemoration of Me."
Matt. 26: 26-28; Mark 14: 22-24; Luke 22: 19,20; 1 Cor. II: 23-26.
In what sense should these words of promise and institution be understood?
These words of promise and institution should be taken in their plain, literal, and obvious sense, as the Jews and the disciples clearly understood them. John 6: 53-69.
