Space is also dedicated to deficiencies in the celebration the Eucharist which "challenge a sense of the sacred." These include neglectfulness in the use of correct liturgical vestments, participants wearing unbefitting clothing, or the scant architectural and artistic quality of church buildings. However, "all these negative realities, occurring more often in the Latin liturgy than the liturgies of the Eastern Churches, should not lead to great alarm, since they seem to be limited." <\/p>\n

Part three, "the Eucharist in the life of the Church," details the correct celebration of Mass, from the opening rites to the conclusion and the significance of liturgical norms, described as "guides for entering into mystery." <\/p>\n

The fourth and final part of the document concerns "the Eucharist in the mission of the Church." It emphasizes the Eucharist’s importance as the "font of Christian morality," recalling that it "has always empowered the choices and the ethical and moral behavior of believers." In this context the document discusses the Eucharist’s association with peace, unity and ecumenism as well as with such questions as inculturation and intercommunion. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
