In a lecture delivered on October 17, 2013 at the First Philippine Congress on New Evangelization held at the University of Santo Tomás, Manila, Timoteo J. M. Ofrasio, S.J. (“Liturgy and the Eucharist in Light of the New Evangelization”) dealt with the question of how the Eucharist can be an effective vehicle of new evangelization in a secularized world where religion has lost much of its influence. Indeed, how can the Eucharist convey the real presence of Christ to people who have lost the sense of the sacred and have become oblivious to spiritual values? While there are many factors that contribute to a dignified celebration of the Mass, Ofrasio finds the internal disposition of the priest and the congregation as most important of all. He notes that the “ars celebrandi, the proper celebration of the liturgical rites, is greatly affected by the interior disposition of the priest” (25). This involves not just proper decorum at Mass but understanding what and why we celebrate the Eucharist. For this reason, there is need for a liturgical catechesis so people will be able to appreciate the Eucharist and somehow grasp the unfolding Paschal Mystery of Christ in the Mass. – from the Editor’s Preface
