Eucharistic Attitudes
Conclusion
What we have done in these reflections is to spell out the implications of celebrating the Eucharist ‘actively, intelligently and fruitfully’ as Vatican II desires of us. In a sense the Council asks us to return to the Early Christian way of celebrating Eucharist: for them meeting every week for Eucharist was no mere ritual. It was truly the centre of their Christian living, it was an opportunity for them to express once again their gratitude to the Lord Jesus for having chosen them to receive the great gift of eternal life.
