Web Page Culls Key Eucharist Documents

VATICAN CITY, SEPT. 9, 2005 (Zenit.org).- To help Catholics live the last month of the Year of the Eucharist, the Holy See has made key documents on the sacrament easily accessible on the Vatican Web page.

The section entitled Year of the Eucharist, includes the documents that John Paul II prepared to convoke the year, as well as other essential texts of his magisterium on the Eucharist.

The section also includes the suggestions by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments on how to spiritually take advantage of the year.

Another section offers fundamental texts of the International Eucharistic Congress, held last October in Mexico, which opened the Year of the Eucharist.

Among the resources presented on the Web page are passages from the Bible and the Catechism of the Catholic Church on the Eucharist, as well as a meditation of St. Francis of Assisi, of the Fathers of the Church and of some recent pastoral figures.
