As Pax Christi looks forward to taking part in a creative parallel programme at the Eucharistic Congress in Liverpool, this Justpeace reminds us that the Eucharist is food for the real life and needs of this world.
David McLoughlin tells us that accepting the Eucharist is accepting to be bread for the poor. Pat Gaffney recalls the 1976 Eucharistic Congress when Dorothy Day challenged a Hiroshima Day Mass dedicated to the military. Fr Michael Riordan explains why celebrating Mass by the noisy construction site of a naval base is just as appropriate as inside the quiet ‘sacred space’ of a church.
