Ecclesia De Eucharistia (Irish Version)

Description

Ecclesia de Eucharistia (Latin for Church of the Eucharist) is a Papal encyclical by Pope John Paul II published on April 17, 2003, the purpose of which is “to rekindle this Eucharistic amazement [], in continuity with the Jubilee heritage which [he has] left to the Church in the Apostolic Letter Novo Millennio Ineunte and its Marian crowning, Rosarium Virginis Mariae” and which he hoped “will effectively help to banish the dark clouds of unacceptable doctrine and practice, so that the Eucharist will continue to shine forth in all its radiant mystery.”

John Paul II dedicates the encyclical “to the bishops, priests and deacons, men and women in the consecrated life and all the lay faithful”.
