Introduction to Day 145: The Last Supper in Luke
The host welcomes listeners back to the Catholic Sprouts Podcast, announcing the continuation of the Gospel reading journey with Luke 22:1–38, focusing on the Last Supper. The episode sets the stage with a prayer and a brief overview of the upcoming passage.
The Preparation for the Passover and the Betrayal of Judas
“Satan entered Judas, the one surnamed Iscariot, who was counted among the twelve, and he went to the chief priests and temple guards to discuss a plan for handing him over to them.”
The Institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper
“This is my body, which will be given up for you. Do this in memory of me. And likewise, the cup after he had eaten saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which will be shed for you.”
Reflections on Service, Denial, and the Real Presence
The host reflects on Jesus’ teaching that true greatness lies in service, not power. Peter’s bold claim of loyalty is contrasted with Jesus’ prophecy of his threefold denial. The episode concludes with a call to marvel at the Eucharist and to deepen personal prayer and journaling.
“This is my body, which will be given up for you. Do this in memory of me.”
“The Eucharist is not symbolic—it is the real presence of Christ, making every Mass a participation in the Last Supper and Calvary.”
“The blood of this unblemished lamb protected the Israelites from judgment. If we accept Jesus and we allow his blood to cover us, we will be passed over during final judgment.”
