Joseph of Arimathea helps take down the Body of Christ with a ladder. Nicodemus takes the Body of Christ. Our Blessed Lady receives Him, as do John and Mary Magdalen. This is the Eucharist. Take My Body; Take My Blood Christ had said the night before at the Last Supper. The Passion started at the Last Supper. The Eucharist is the Sacrificial Body and Blood of Christ given to us for all ages until the end of the world. The Mass is the Unbloody Sacrifice.
How fortunate we are to have the Catholic Faith. Thank you, Jesus, thank you.
