Description
This important Lent title examines what it means to celebrate the Eucharist, and in turn reminds us of our capacity for love, hope and faith. With a foreword by former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams.
The Eucharist, writes Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe, is a three-part drama, forming us in faith, hope and love. In this book he examines what it means to celebrate the Eucharist. Other people experience it as boring and pointless. Listening to the readings, the homily and the creed all take us through the crises and challenges of faith.
From the offertory through to the end of the Eucharistic prayer we are caught up in the hope that was Christ's, faced with Good Friday. From the Our Father until we are sent on our way, especially in receiving communion, we are formed as people who are capable of love.

Reviews highlight his ability to make the familiar Mass feel exciting and deeply important, and readers find the book makes the Eucharist more accessible and relevant to everyday life.
