The Eucharist Today
We celebrate the mass in the vernacular language so we can understand more fully what the mass means.The liturgy of the word has greater importance. Guidelines instruct the homilist to develop the homily based on the readings. The Sunday readings revolve around a three-year cycle. This emphasis has helped Catholics discover the scriptures.The altar now faces the people. This invites a clearer understanding of what is going on at the eucharist.
