Description: Different times and different cultures have influenced the ways in which the Eucharist has been celebrated and understood.

We now live in times in which belief in God is no longer taken for granted. This new situation invites us to present our faith in Christ differently, calling us to offer a presentation of the Eucharist that can begin on common ground with our contemporaries and in language that believers today may find inviting and meaningful.

Francis O'Loughlin suggests that we look again at the basic things we use as signs in the Eucharist: bread, wine, water, symbolic actions and our own bodies. These things are taken into our celebration of the Eucharist and are used as signs that take us beyond them into the depths of the Eucharist, that is into its very mystery.

The author also indicates that the words we use in speaking about the Eucharist: memory, presence and sacrifice deal with everyday, human things that take us beyond the ordinary from which they come, into the mystery of God among us in Christ which we celebrate when we gather for Eucharist.
