[Magdalen] Eucharistic prayer

[Ferdinand von Prondzynski (Emeritus)]

Coming from a very catholic tradition myself, I am a strong believer in the Real Presence, and won't argue too much either about transubstantiation. But I can't see that this is what the US wording achieves. 'Remembrance' is still 'remembrance', and the use of different prepositions doesn't really alter the theological meaning, unless I'm missing something. It's just that 'for the remembrance' is grammatically odd. I've wondered about this for some time, but no one has ever really been able to explain it to me.

I'm sure I AM missing something...

Ferdinand

I hold to its meaning the actual presence of Christ, but I am sure many of
my fellow congregants are much more in line with the protestant memorial,
given their regular grumbling about things being too kaaathlick.
