And it is Faithful to the most profound mysteries of our Faith. I was struck by how Eucharistic the movie is. Not just in the flashback scenes of the Last Supper, but as a whole. I don’t think I’m giving anything away here because others have written about this, but there is a scene after Jesus’ scourging where Mary wipes up His blood. I was moved to think about the Mass, and every time I look into the Chalice when I say “this is the cup of my blood, the blood of the new and everlasting covenant…”. That blood, and the blood at the foot of the Pillar, are the same.

I will never celebrate Mass the same way again.
