for the record, scripture never calls the "bread and wine" known as communion, holy, sacred, or a sacrifice.
Here is the highlight of the reason the reasoning of the institution of the most “holy Sacrifice of the Mass”, as mentioned in documents such as the Console of Trent session 22 is in error.
Heb 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
There are no additional sacrifices even in the case Paul mentions in Hebrews (10:26) so there is no justification scripturally that states what is called the “most holy Sacrifice of the Mass” as defined in Console of Trent session 22. There are no more sacrifices to be performed other than one’s self (Rom_12:1) whereas in Console of Trent session 22 ch 1 states:
“His priesthood was not to be extinguished by His death, in the last supper, on the night in which He was betrayed,--that He might leave, to His own beloved Spouse the Church, a visible sacrifice, such as the nature of man requires, whereby that bloody sacrifice, once to be accomplished on the cross, might be represented, and the memory thereof remain even unto the end of the world, and its salutary virtue be applied to the remission of those sins which we daily commit.”
So what is communion, has been used for the justification of a priesthood claiming the rite to sacrifice, to “be applied to the remission of those sins which we daily commit”.
Communion by definition is sharing or holding in common with others; participation; the condition of things so held, community, combination, union.
And in all instances mentioned by Paul who’s the only Apostle to mention the “bread” in the context of Christ, states in the sharing thereof is communion. The, offering of the body and blood God ward has been done once and only once. Therefore, there is no such other offering unto God as to the Body and Blood of Christ. Therefore, what is understood as communion scripturally, is Not a sacrifice. Its the partaking of that one and only sacrifice, the sacrifice is over, there is only the partaking left to do.
1Co 10:15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say. 16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? 17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. 18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
Hence how can a priest offer up what has the Presence of God to God. Not happening. No one offered Christ, but Christ Himself, who is any soul to dare say they offer Christ, the Son of God as a sacrifice unto God, by claiming His presence in what they call the Eucharist that they say is a sacrifice?
