The first of these four courses, Exploring the Source and Summit, explores the life-changing encounter that we are invited to have with Christ in the Eucharist and how we can further enrich our devotion to the Lord and his profound self-gift in the liturgy.

In a somewhat obscure passage in a 1997 pastoral-catechetical document, the Church describes the sacraments as “means” of evangelization (See Congregation for the Clergy, General Directory for Catechesis (GDC) 47). Since the Eucharist is one of the seven sacraments, is it right to say the Eucharistic is such a “means” in the context of the sacramental celebration of the Mass? After all, the Eucharist contains “the whole spiritual good of the Church” (Presbyterorum Ordinis, 5).

The COVID shutdown of 2020-21 had a unique and unprecedented impact on Catholics: for at least several months, many dioceses closed churches, offered no public Masses even on Sundays, and dispensed the obligation of the dominical precept to attend Mass on Sunday. Catholics were recommended to avail themselves of Masses broadcast by television or online though, in a strict sense, there was no obligation to use them because a televised Mass does not fulfill the obligation of attending Sunday Mass.
