Priest Retreat #7 May 2007 Liturgy of the Eucharist

This Conference (39 Minutes) by Fr. Pascal Cheline, OSB, explores the second half of the Mass, the Liturgy of the Eucharist. This great high point of our faith is about Transformation. Bread and Wine are brought from the Assembly--gifts of creation and the work of human hands. We are placed symbolically on the Altar that we might be transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit called down on the Bread and Wine. We come forward to receive what we are the Body of Christ and experience Communion with God and with one another. I accept the mission of Christ into my self. I die to my selfishness and live for others. We are sent forth from Mass to continue the work of Christ in the world.
