Second and Third centuries
When the apostolic community was no longer on the stage, the evolving liturgy increasingly used, read, and reflected the writings of first-generation leaders like Paul.

Today we recognize this development as the liturgy of the word. -

Debate between Theologists
Theologians of this time debated the importance of the "real presence" of Christ in the Eucharistic bread and wine. They used the term transubstantiation to describe the mystery of the transformation of the bread and wine into the resurrected body and blood of Jesus, although in the appearance of the bread and wine a feeling was preserved that the consecration was the climax. -
New Law
Devotion to the Blessed Sacrament continued to shine, though people rarely received communion until 1910, when Pope Pius X allowed mature children to receive communion and encouraged frequent communion to all believers. -
Eucharist today
We celebrate the fair in the local language so that we can better understand what the fair means. The liturgy of the word has a greater meaning. The guidelines instruct the homilist to develop the sermon based on the readings. Sunday readings revolve around a three-year cycle. This emphasis has helped Catholics discover the scriptures. The altar now looks at the people. This invites a better understanding of what happens in the Eucharist.
