Scripture

Key Concepts

• God set His people free from their oppressor Pharaoh by prescribing a way for the spirit of death to pass over their homes – the blood of the sacrificial lamb sprinkled on wooden door posts.

• Jesus, on the bloody, wooden cross, is the Paschal Lamb – the sacrifice that sets God’s people free from the oppression of sin.

• Today, the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross is made present by celebrating the Mass in which Jesus gives Himself to us in the Eucharist. We, in turn, receive Him and, like Mary, become tabernacles of the Lord.
