text: The inexhaustible richness of this sacrament is expressed in the different names we give it.. It is called...the Breaking of Bread because Jesus used this rite, part of a Jewish meal, when as master of the table he blessed and distributed the bread, above all at the Last Supper (Catholic Church #1328 -1332)
  
  Melchizedek was king of Salem and a priest of El Elyon, "God most High." The order of Melchizedek refers more to his act of "eucharistein," thanksgiving,  and the exchange of tithes between Abram and him. There is no mention of sacrifice.
  
  In Hebrews 10:14-18, we read that "First [Jesus] says, 'Sacrifices and offerings, holocaust and sin offerings, you neither desired nor delighted in ..For by one offering he has made perfect forever those who are being consecrated ...Where there is forgiveness of these, there is no longer offering for sin."
  
  I suspect that God prefers the breaking of bread to the spilling of blood.
