After receiving the presentation, the 6th graders took some time to write out their thoughts:
- "At the Passover, Jesus said, 'This is my Body, which will be given up for you and for many. Do this in memory of me,' and at Mass the priest does the same thing. Then the same thing happens with the Blood. It becomes a perpetual memorial."
- "Jesus passed the words He said down to the apostles and then they passed it down to the bishops and priests who preach it to us."
- "After Jesus has ascended to heaven, the apostles pray to the Father to send His Spirit, and they repeat Jesus' words and they still do."
- "I wonder why they said those words. I wonder how they all said similar things. I wonder if I go back in time if people would behave like we do. I wonder how I would feel if I were in those moments."
- "Parousia: We don't know our fate on this day but we do know this. God promised it will happen and God always keeps His promises."
