		<description><![CDATA[I am not old enough to remember the Latin Mass. Before Vatican II, was the Mass always in Latin? For many centuries, the Mass was in Latin, but prior to the eighth century, it was not. In the early church, the Eucharist was celebrated in the context of Jewish rituals and prayers, so obviously the language used was Hebrew and Aramaic. In the first centuries in Rome, Greek was the language used, but as Latin came to be more universally used by clerics and the faithful, it gradually replaced Greek. In the rest of Europe, the local language was used. Latin became the standard of the Mass around the eighth century, though a universal ritual was not established until the Council of Trent, hence the Tridentine Mass. The development of the ritual of the Mass is very interesting indeed. It is important to note that the essential elements of the Mass were always present: readings from Scripture, the words of consecration, the use of bread and wine, and Communion. It was at Trent that the prayers and rituals were standardized and remained unchanged for the four hundred years before Vatican II. A good history of the church would be a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Must I receive both the body and the blood of Christ to receive him fully? In recent years there has been a renewed interest and practice of receiving the Eucharist under both forms or species, bread and wine. But this is not necessary to receive the eucharistic presence of Christ. The Council of Trent taught that the presence of Christ in the Eucharist begins with the words of consecration and endures as long as the species of bread and wine subsist. Furthermore, Christ is present whole and entire in both species and in all parts of the species. So if the bread is broken the presence of Christ is not divided (CCC 1377). If one receives a larger portion of bread, they do not receive more Christ! In the General Instruction of the Roman Missal, paragraph 281 states, &#8220;Holy Communion has a fuller form as a sign when it is distributed under both kinds.&#8221; Paragraph 282 goes on to remind us that we are not deprived of any grace necessary for salvation when we receive Communion under one form. People who are allergic to wheat may receive just the cup and they gain the same grace and presence as one [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1 Kings 19:4-8; Ephesians 4:30-5:2; John 6:41-51[1] Throughout the history of the church different understandings of Eucharist have influenced the way we approach the Eucharist.  In fact these different understandings were at the center of the Protestant Reformation and Catholic Counter-Reformation.  While Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox Churches profess belief in transubstantiation, other mainline Christian denominations have different understandings.  For instance the Lutherans would profess a belief in &#8220;consubstantiation&#8221; by which the bread and wine remains bread and wine but is also the body and blood when it is consumed.  Other denominations like Methodist and Presbyterians would say that the bread and wine are only symbolic of Christ&#8217;s body and blood.  Still other Christian denominations have eliminated altogether the practice of eating and drinking having only a bible-centered form of worship. Because of this difference in understanding some would ask the question, &#8220;What difference does it make whether or not I believe in the &#8220;real presence of Christ&#8221; in the Eucharist?&#8221;   Let me give you a couple of examples that illustrate the importance. A father leaves work early on a weekday, drives five hours to another city to be present at his son&#8217;s college basketball game and the drives home [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why was the name for this Sunday changed from Corpus Christi to the feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ? The Lectionary revised by Vatican II changed the name of this feast from Corpus Christi, the feast of the body of Christ, to the feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. Although several reasons prompted this change, the primary ones focus on the fullness of the sacramental reality. Christ is fully present in the bread and wine which are transformed by the power of the Spirit into the body and blood of Christ. While the term &#8220;body&#8221; was seen as adequate, the fuller sacramental reality is better expressed by &#8220;body and blood.&#8221; The emphasis on the &#8220;blood&#8221; of Christ was highlighted by the availability of the cup for all communicants, something previously restricted only to priests. This availability provided the opportunity to explore the rich meaning of Christ&#8217;s blood for our faith lives. Blood has always been linked to life and to union with others, especially blood relatives. Drinking from the cup symbolizes Christian willingness to share Christ&#8217;s sacrifice. Sharing the cup represents our commitment to be united as one family. In Mark 10:38, [...]]]></description>
