REFLECTIONS ON THE WORDS AND DEEDS OF THE SUNDAY EUCHARIST. WHAT DO CHRISTIANS DO WHEN THEY GATHER ON SUNDAY? WHAT DO THE WORDS AND DEEDS MEAN? WHERE HAVE THE MEANINGS COME FROM? WHERE DO THEY SEND US? WE READ IN THE INTRODUCTION "DURINGTHE EARLY CENTURIES OF THE CHURCH APOLOGISTS, THEOLOGIANS AND BISHOPS WROTE AND PREACHED ON THE MEANING OF THE EUCHARISTIC LITURGY. THIS IS WHAT WE MEAN, SAID JUSTIN, AMBROSE, CYRIL AND SO MANY OTHERS, WHEN WE MEET ON SUNDAY, WHEN WE SAY THESE WORDS, WHEN WE CHANT THESE SONGS. OUR CENTURY HAS RETURNED TO THIS FORM OF CATECHESIS, AS PASTORAL LITURGISTS OFFER MEDITATIONS ABOUT THE MASS, SO THAT THE FAITHFUL MAY KNOW MORE FULLY THE MYSTERY OF THE MEAL.
