September / October 2020
While going without Eucharist is a tremendous struggle for all Catholics, it likely struck the readers of Emmanuel in a unique way. Readers of Emmanuel are imbued with a eucharistic spirituality and seek, as our mission states, “to see all of reality in the light of the Eucharist.” Therefore this “eucharistic fast” requires of us a deeper theological engagement. In this issue we grapple with some of the challenging facets of this eucharistic fast: ecclesial, liturgical, ministerial and spiritual. What is impressive, amidst the difficulties faced by so many of the contributors to this issue, was their choice to be Eucharist for others, to serve as Jesus served.
