[Magdalen] Eucharistic prayer

[Allan Carr]

I looked through the long list of bibles at https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Luke%2022:19
and there’s not one of them that uses the “for the” wording.

On a different tack, my problem is that coming from a varied Protestant background, this phrase was always prominently displayed, even being painted on the altar, to emphasize that Christ was, at most, only present in spirit. 

So  I agree with Matthew vs Luke and Paul, leave the whole phrase out. And when it comes to going back to a Bible, is there actually a Bible that uses “for the”.

But if you were to take the meaning of 'for love nor money' for example and apply it to 'for the remembrance of me', you end up suggesting that we should 'so this' so that people would remember Christ. Which is not what we are indicating in the sacrament. I just think it's a very strange formula - but then again, I doubt that Our Lord minds very much...
