Eucharistic Revival Conference #2: The History and Potential Future of the Mass: A Journey Through Eucharistic Worship
In Eucharistic Revival Conference #1, we explored the reasons behind the need for this revival and clarified its purpose.
We focused on reintroducing the sacrament of the body and blood of Christ and examined the inspiration for the National Eucharistic Renewal. A key concern discussed was that 70 percent of Catholics attending Sunday Mass do not believe in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Another pressing issue is the decline in Mass attendance. The goal of the revival is to reignite Eucharistic faith during this pivotal moment.
Past, Present, and Potential Future: Reflecting on the History of the Mass
Today, we will begin a discussion on the history of the Mass, tracing its development up to the present day. This is a crucial time to reflect on the past, present, and potential future of the Mass. We’ll examine what has been done, what is happening now, and what we potentially can do moving forward. Given the current decline in attendance, understanding the history of our faith and worship is vital. Our focus will be on gathering insights from this history to help guide the future of Eucharistic worship.
