The Last Supper and Calvary
"The Last Supper and Calvary" is a profound theological exploration of the relationship between Christ's institution of the Eucharist and His sacrifice on the Cross. Written by the esteemed Jesuit theologian Maurice de la Taille, this work serves as a cornerstone of early 20th-century Catholic sacramental theology. It examines the unity of the Paschal Mystery, arguing that the Last Supper and the events of Calvary constitute a single, indivisible sacrifice.
The text delves into the liturgical and dogmatic aspects of the Mass, articulating how the ritual offering at the Cenacle relates to the historical immolation on the Hill of Golgotha. De la Taille provides a rigorous defense of traditional doctrines while offering unique insights into the nature of Christ's priesthood and the continuous presence of His sacrifice in the life of the Church. This volume is an essential resource for scholars, clergy, and lay readers interested in the development of Eucharistic thought and the profound mysteries of the Christian faith. It remains a significant contribution to the study of the atonement and the sacrificial nature of the liturgy.
