Pastoral Quote for the Week of June 30, 2008
"The Eucharistic Prayer highlights
the communal aspect of
the liturgy: “We come to you
Father…We ask you to bless
and accept these gifts…We
offer them in spirit and in
truth.” That we worship as a
community at Mass cannot be
emphasized too strongly. The
liturgy is truly “the work of the
people” led by the priest and made possible by the power of the Holy
Spirit. It belongs to all the baptized, speaks to and from the heart of them
all, and proclaims the faith of all."
Bishop Robert Lynch, Quote from Living Eucharist: Gathered, Nourished, Sent, page 14.
