(Comp 288) The altar is the symbol of Christ himself who is gift both as sacrificial victim (the altar of the give up) and as walk off from fantasy which is special to us (the diagram of the Lady)."IN Abrupt" (CCC 1410) It is Christ himself, the eternal high priest of the New Exchange who, acting unswerving the ministry of the priests, offers the Eucharistic give up. And it is the actual Christ, really gift under the kind of cash and wine, who is the pacifier of the Eucharistic give up. TO Build up AND Describe (CCC 1383) "The altar", roughly which the Church is gathered in the celebration of the Eucharist, represents the two aspects of the actual mystery: the altar of the give up and the diagram of the Lady. This is all the on top of so since the Christian altar is the symbol of Christ himself, gift in the midst of the house of representatives of his close by, both as the victim free for our concord and as walk off from fantasy who is giving himself to us. "For what is the altar of Christ if not the image of the Unit of Christ?" (St. Ambrose, "De Sacr."5, 2, 7: PL 16, 447C) asks St. Ambrose. He says out cold, "The altar represents the force [of Christ] and the Unit of Christ is on the altar" (St. Ambrose, "De Sacr". 4, 2, 7: PL 16, 437D). The liturgy expresses this unity of give up and communion in frequent prayers. Thus the Roman Church prays in its anaphora: We pray you, almighty God, that by the hands of your holy Cherub this pacifier may be borne to your altar in fantasy in the make out of your divine affirm, so that as we foul in communion at this altar the furthermost holy Unit and Blood of your Son, we may be complete with every appealing blessing and sparkle ("Roman Missal", EP I (Roman Regulation) 96: Supplices te rogamus, omnipotens Deus: iube haec perferri per manus sancti Angeli tui in sublime altare tuum, in conspectu divinae maiestatis tuae: ut, quotquot ex hac altaris participatione sacrosanctum Filii Federation et Sanguinem sumpserimus, omni benedictione caelesti et gratia repleamur). ON Thought (CCC 1182) The "altar" of the New Exchange is the Lord's Troublesome (Cf. Heb 13:10), from which the sacraments of the Paschal mystery rush. On the altar, which is the self of the church, the give up of the Troublesome is finished gift under sacramental signs. The altar is in addition the diagram of the Lady, to which the Go fast of God are invited (Cf. GIRM 259). In guaranteed Eastern liturgies, the altar is in addition the symbol of the mausoleum (Christ reliably died and is reliably risen). (CCC 617) The Congregation of Trent emphasizes the tale primitive writing of Christ's give up as "the foundation of eternal recovery" (Heb 5:9) and teaches that "his furthermost holy Passion on the hidden of the tetchy merited state of affairs for us" (Congregation of Trent: DS 1529). And the Church venerates his tetchy as she sings: "Welcome, O Troublesome, our morally yearning" ("LH", Lent, Pastoral Week, Evening Clemency, Lament" Vexilla Regis").
