In “Catholic Families in Asia: Living the Eucharist as Domestic Church of the Poor,” Maria Elisa A. Borja begins by noting how some Asian families may consider the Sunday Eucharist as “simply fulfilling a weekly obligation without any connection to their daily life.” As such, she derives and develops important insights from FABC documents in order to “help Catholic families in Asia reflect on parts of the Eucharistic celebration and apply it to their family’s purpose as domestic church of the Poor.” The result is an interesting presentation of the different parts of the Mass in a manner both pedagogical and mystagogical, while at the same time bringing out the distinct Asian connection. This article also turns out to be of special relevance as we transition from online Masses back to in-person Masses, especially in this liminal time when the Sunday precept is not yet strictly imposed and many need to rediscover the value of communal worship. – from the Editor’s Preface
