Witness to Faith ‘The Kingdom of God’ is a term which we frequently meet in Luke’s gospel. It is a metaphor used by Jesus to refer to Gods reign in the world being accepted by humankind. The kingdom is not identical with the Church. Wherever the values, which Jesus lived and preached, are operating, even though the Church may not be established in that place, the Kingdom is already there. © St. Pauls, 2009

Handing on the Faith: Catechesis (CCC, 1352- 1353) The anaphora: with the Eucharistic Prayer — the prayer of thanksgiving and consecration — is the heart and summit of the Eucharistic celebration: In the preface the Church gives thanks to the Father, through Christ, in the Holy Spirit, for all his works: creation, redemption and sanctification. The whole community thus joins in the unending praise that the Church in heaven, the angels and all the saints, sing to the thrice-holy God. In the epiclesis the Church asks the Father to send his Holy Spirit (or the power of his blessing) on the bread and wine, so that by his power they may become the body and blood of Jesus Christ and so that those who take part in Eucharist may be one body and one spirit.
