Textbook Lesson

Expanding Thoughts on Lesson

  • The Triumphal Entry
    • In our understanding, all our feasts are not mere commemorations or remembrances of a past event - in the sacrament, we are "actually" present participating in the event. This actualization of past events is known as Anamnesis. This is a good opportunity to reinforce this important teaching that we don't simply "remember" these events but participate with Christ.
