The Scripture says in Mat. 26:28,
"For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins".
The cup is to serve as a symbol of His shed blood at Calvary.
The only way we can enter into the New Covenant.

“ Unless you eat the flesh of The Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you “
“ Take this all of you and eat it, this is my Body “
“ Take this all of you and drink of it, this is the cup of my blood “
Jesus flesh is real food and His blood is real drink.
Believe this if you say you have “ Faith “.
I have faith that transubstantiation is foolishness.
No, you rationalise, which is carnal, earth bound.
“ How can this man give us his flesh to eat? “
“ This man “ isn’t just a “ man “, this is the Truth Incarnate.
Once you understand this you believe in Faith.
I know, I'm a Protester bound for Hell. What would I possibly know about the Holy Bible.
Jesus teaches on the eating of His flesh and drinking his blood. And He does teach that it is not physically eaten.
But the unstable wrest the Scripture to their own hurt and rely on false doctrine that Jesus clearly said was a spiritual teaching.
John 6
“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
Clearly Jesus said that the flesh profited nothing. That the teaching is a spiritual teaching and not physical.
And are you telling us that like Korah we are about to be swallowed up by the earth?
No, where there is life there is Hope. The Bible is the truth and salvific if you understand it correctly and believe.
Jesus Words in particular.
Jesus has the words of everlasting life.
I'm a Protester, Cathode, pray to Mary for me.
I don’t wonder anymore why Jesus told them not to use vain repetitions.
And I don’t expect that Jesus is being punished for teaching this.
lol, I grew up in Baptist churches where the pastor's wore anything but 'ordinary clothes'. In fact, those expensive suits white dress shoes (always white in those days, especially evangelists) probably costs more than the vestments of liturgical churches. It was often the object of humor in my Baptist university the degree that pastor's or evangelist would go to present themselves impeccably dressed 'on stage'.
Other, than to sing some hymns before 'the message' and altar call, being led in some repetitive 'guide and direct' prayers, I was a spectator with very limited opportunities for participation. Most Baptist churches I have attended since becoming Catholic seem to be trying to entertain the dwindling congregations.
I can understand your aversion to these types of churches. But that doesn’t make the Catholic dress and worship right.
I will bro, hold onto your arse.
Hmmm, Jesus used this very prayer as His preface to presenting His answer to the question as to what is the greatest commandment yet you mock it?
Question, how about the hymn: King Of My Heart'? 'Your a good good Father, that's who You are, who You are, who You are, that's who you are. . . .' Sung over and over and over (16 times) in countless evangelical churches. Is that 'vain repetition' or can that be authentic prayer/worship?
This is just one example. I can present many examples of repetitive songs being sung in Baptist churches all the time.

I am not mocking it. To presume that a certain order of words is a bandage for all your problems is faulty.
Ironically, right after Jesus said this,
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
Jesus said, “after this manner pray ye.” He then gave a model of prayer. An example of prayer and not a prayer to become the most vain repetition in the history of the church. This is also included in Scripture. I don’t mock the Scriptures. I do see problems with people who believe in the magic order of words.
Well, I can say that I don’t appreciate seven eleven songs (7 words, 11times) and we don’t sing them. And I have never heard that song.
Yes, I consider that also to be vain repetitions.
Rationalising Jesus words is not the same as believing Jesus words. Rationalising is the opposite of believing, the opposite of Faith.
Faith is the key, Faith goes beyond human reasoning.
Jesus flesh is real food and His blood is real drink.
Believe it because Jesus said it.
“But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. “
You are being swallowed up by earth bound human rationalisations, trust Jesus words and soar the heights of Faith.
“But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned “
Well there you go, according to Catholicism we Protesters are as lost as a June bug.
You must face Jesus words head on and believe, not scurry off in human rationalisations.
“ My flesh is real food and my blood is real drink”
Yes Lord, I believe.
