The Mass is at the same time, and inseparably, the sacrificial memorial in which the sacrifice of the cross is perpetuated and the sacred banquet of communion with the Lord’s body and blood. (CCC, no. 1382)

“Whereas it is common today to think of the Eucharist in terms of communion, the sacrificial nature of the eucharistic celebration is often neglected or misunderstood.” – Rev. Gerard Deighan, Editor

Celebrating the Eucharist: Sacrifice and Communion comprises a variety of perspectives from the panel of scholars at the Fota V International Liturgical Conference, presenting “a full and balanced understanding of the Eucharist” as both sacrifice and communion.

Topics include:

  • A study on the Eucharist as sacrifice in canonical discipline (Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke)
  • Overview of sacrifice in the Old Testament as background for understanding the sacrificial nature of the Last Supper (Gerard Deighan)
  • The sacrificial character of the Eucharistic celebration in the Letter to the Hebrews (Robert Abyneiko)
  • A systematic discussion on the essence of the Eucharistic sacrifice (Manfred Hauke)
