Luis Fernando Figari Rodrigo, consecrated lay and founder of the Sodalite Family, who is participating as an auditor to the Synod on the Eucharist at the Vatican, noted that a catechesis that helps Christians to recuperate the sense of the Eucharist and of the Sunday as “Dies Domini” was urgent.
This the interview that Figari held with CNA:
What kind of reflections would a founder from Latin America bring to this Synod?
The Great gift of the Eucharist is a treasure for the Church and the world. When we reflect upon this gift of God, a great number of thoughts arise and a permanent wonder. The believer is conscious that the sacrifice at Golgotha and the Holy Sacrament that we celebrate at Mass are the one and same. How not to fall into an experience of wonder, gratefulness and worship? In the Mass, the sacrifice of the Cross lives on sacramentally. The immense love of God for humankind is manifested through it. In making himself present and real, Our Lord Jesus Christ shows the reconciliation love and shows before us how in Him, human existence acquires its full sense. The human mystery becomes clear in the magnitude of the Eucharist, which is like the continuation and extension of the Incarnation.
