Haydock's commentary
This day. The Jews assert, that as their fathers were delivered out of Egypt on the 15th of Nisan, so Israel will be redeemed on that day by the Messias; which has been literally verified in Jesus Christ.
Everlasting. This is what will be done with respect to our Christian passover, (Calmet) of which the Jewish was a figure, designed to subsist as long as their republic. (Menochius)

The Fathers on this verse
St John Chrysostom The Homilies of St. John Chrysostom, Matthew XXVI. 26-28
But this He said, indicating thereby, that His passion and His cross are a mystery, by this too again comforting His disciples. And like as Moses saith, “This shall be to you for an everlasting memorial,”so He too, “in remembrance of me,” until I come. Therefore also He saith, “With desire I have desired to eat this passover,”that is, to deliver you the new rites, and to give a passover, by which I am to make you spiritual.
