By Samuel Torvend. Invites readers to expand their experience and understanding of the Mass and Eucharist, as more than a personal encounter with the risen Christ. Drawing on recent research, the history of eucharistic reflection among Christians, and contemporary commitments to economic justice, the book invokes the integral relationship between eucharistic practice and eucharistic mission. Stresses the pattern and meaning of the Mass toward care for the wounded creation and solidarity with the poor and outcast. Lectionary references and homilies are available for liturgical preparation at the back of the book. Read more.
