The Holy Communion of The Blessed Virgin


St. Paul speaks of the institution of the Holy Eucharist
with more detail than any of the four Evangelists
see 1st Corinthians chapter XI 23-29
These words "Take ye, and eat; this is my body"
and
"This chalice is the new testament in my blood"
Understood in their true meaning, literally and without metaphor, are to human understanding an impenetrable mystery. That which Christ gave to His disciples was no longer bread, but His Body which was about to be sacrificed; the chalice contained His very Blood which was about to be shed. The Apostles did not ask:
"How can this be done?" 
In the fullness of their faith, realizing that Christ was Omnipotent , they believed His words and partook of His Body and His Blood under the appearances of bread and wine. In saying to His Apostles 
" this do for the commemoration of me," 
Christ gave to the Priesthood the power of reproducing and carrying on through-out all time, the holy sacrifice of the Mass. 
Mary, the Mother of Jesus, must have received holy Communion daily from hands of one of the Apostles, especially from St. John, the beloved disciple, with whom she abode after the Ascension of Christ into heaven.
