"How would he give his flesh to eat?" The Lord's Supper, would it be true in the sense of real? Discerning by faith, bread and wine, as the substantial body and blood of Christ, does it reveal the eschatological meal of Life? Remember the cradle, from Bethlehem! In Eden was already planted a tree of Life, prefiguring the Cross. The Immortal God, through the nailed humanity of his Son, "Predestined to die from the foundation of the World", asserted himself Unique! The evidence of Jesus' death attests to this to the Christian faithful, as the only sanctified body that is not an idolatrous symbol either! Ironically, Rome certifying her death to excel in devotion, even uncultivated worship of the Eucharist! And if the doctrine of the ‘’substantivation’’ of the body of Jesus through Holy Communion recalled the tree of life in paradise, do we understand why it was forbidden before redemption, but made accessible in eternity? This tree representing Jesus in the garden, and his destiny of "Green wood", what would he do today to the countless "Dead woods", unable to discern his body, to wash each other's feet, and to 'organize the agape of the Holy Table?
