We discuss St Thomas' treatise on the Eucharist in the Summa Theologica, in honor of the Bread of Life Discourse and the Vatican's declaration of the Jubilee Celebrations of St Thomas Aquinas.
In this sermon, we look to ST III, qq. 81-83. We discuss the Last Supper and the institution of the Eucharist and the Priesthood. We then look to the priest who celebrates Mass and various questions related to Masses said by bad priests or excommunicated priests. Finally, we consider briefly the rituals of the Mass and, specifically, what makes the Mass to be a sacrifice.
