… As Dostoevsky writes, \u00abAnd so, man must unceasingly feel suffering [because of man\u2019s sin], which is compensated for by the heavenly joy of fulfilling the law, that is, by sacrifice.»<\/p>\n
In exploring Eucharistic theology in this book, I have argued that such radical communion is attained most fully on earth in the Eucharist, which as our sacrificial sharing in Christ\u2019s sacrifice provides a foretaste of the radical communion that is heaven. In the sacrifice-sacrament of the Eucharist, we learn charity by offering with Christ his own saving sacrifice. The sacrament of the Eucharist is a \u201cschool\u201d of charity; it builds the Church by enabling us to enact Christ\u2019s sacrifice with him. In the liturgy of the Eucharist, we learn \u201cJesus Christ and him sacrificed\u201d and thereby we \u201cput on the whole armor of God\u201d. … <\/p>\n
… All aspects \u2013 theological and liturgical \u2013 of the Eucharist should therefore express our Eucharistic sharing in Christ\u2019s cruciform Godwardness, which deifies us. Joseph Ratzinger has described the opposite situation, in which the liturgy of the Eucharist, not understood \u201cecstatically\u201d as a sacrifice, finds its ground in itself rather than in God:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe turning of the priest toward the people has turned the community into a self-enclosed circle. In its outward form, it no longer opens out on what lies ahead and above, but is locked into itself. The common turning toward the East was not a «celebration toward the wall»; it did not mean that the priest «had his back to the people»: the priest himself was not regarded as so important. For just as the congregation in the synagogue looked together toward Jerusalem, so in the Christian Liturgy the congregation looked together «toward the Lord». As one of the fathers of Vatican II’s Constitution on the Liturgy, J. A. Jungmann, put it, it was much more a question of priest and people facing in the same direction, knowing that together they were in a procession toward the Lord. They did not close themselves into a circle, they did not gaze at one another, but as the pilgrim People of God they set off for the Oriens, for the Christ who comes to meet us.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
I would add that this \u201cprocession toward the Lord\u201d advances only insofar as it is cruciform, that is to say insofar as the communion of the pilgrim People of God arises in and through Christ\u2019s saving sacrifice and our Eucharistic (sacrificial) participation in it. … <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
