During the closing Mass for the 10th National Eucharistic Congress, the Dean of the College of Cardinals, Cardinal Angelo Sodano, invited the faithful to spread the message of Jesus in order to build “a more just and fraternal world.”
“An authentically Eucharistic Church is a missionary Church,” he said.
“The Eucharist, which makes the sacrifice of Jesus for the entire world present today, makes each of us also into ‘broken bread’ for the service of all and leads us to build a more just and fraternal world,” the cardinal explained in his homily at the Cathedral of Toledo, Spain. “It invites us to be committed with our brothers and sisters to confronting the present-day challenges and make the Earth a place where we live properly as brothers and sisters in Christ.”
“Pope Benedict XVI has also reminded us that we must not keep for ourselves the love we celebrate in the sacrament,” said Cardinal Sodano. “By its nature it demands that we communicate it to all.”
