CCC 1403

At the Last Supper the Lord himself directed his disciples' attention toward the fulfillment of the Passover in the kingdom of God: "I tell you I shall not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom."²⁴⁰ Mt 26:29; cf. Lk 22:18; Mk 14 25. Whenever the Church celebrates the Eucharist she remembers this promise and turns her gaze "to him who is to come." In her prayer she calls for his coming: "Marana tha!" "Come, Lord Jesus!"²⁴¹ Rev 1:4; 22 20; 1 Cor 16 22. "May your grace come and this world pass away!"²⁴² Didache 10, 6: SCh 248,180SCh — Sources Chrétiennes (patristic critical-edition series).
