THE Divine Sacrifice

On his own blog, Jesse claimed that the Eucharist is a re-sacrificing of Christ because it is offered repeatedly.

You said, The Eucharist is called a divine sacrifice (CCC, 1068),

Get it right.  It's called THE Divine Sacrifice.

1068 It is this mystery of Christ that the Church proclaims and celebrates in her liturgy so that the faithful may live from it and bear witness to it in the world:
For it is in the liturgy, especially in THE divine sacrifice of the Eucharist, that "the work of our redemption is accomplished," and it is through the liturgy especially that the faithful are enabled to express in their lives and manifest to others the mystery of Christ and the real nature of the true Church.

 and is done repeatedly.

It's offered repeatedly.  But Jesus Christ did His part only once.  What was His part?  He sacrificed Himself upon the Cross.

Have you never wondered why Scripture calls Jesus, the Lamb of God?  By the way, Protestants claim to wash themselves in the Blood of Christ.  Where do they get that Precious Blood?  They can't and don't.  But Catholics are washed in the Precious Blood of Christ every time we partake of the Eucharist.
