Celebrating the Eucharist is a handbook to the Eucharist looking in detail at the principles of liturgical celebration as well as ritual instructions. This approach to the rite will allow ministers to enable the community to gather and encounter Christ in word and sacrament, then be sent out in response to that encounter. The handbook will help ministers to hold the liturgy together and proceed with a sense of momentum, moving the community from gathering to dismissal and allowing various members of the community to exercise their individual ministries within that gathered setting.
