Why don't Catholics partipate in the Church outside of Mass?

[Reuben_J]

Please give me the official RCC idea of what the Eucharist is. Like a link to the Catechism or something.

You can refer to the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) online if you don’t have a copy, CCC #1322 to #1419. It is quite long and this forum may not cover this subject sufficiently. This is the core of Catholic belief and I caution you to tread it politely as you may be seen as being rude and it may inflame the other posters.

I have to leave now and please do feel welcome here.

God bless you.

Reuben.

Thank you for your time. I live for the flame, not to inflame.

God bless!

This tells me that your parish is united around the Eucharist.

A parish has to be united around the altar and around the Eucharist. If they are, they can do anything. If not, then they will always struggle.

My parish has bible studies in peoples homes, the top KofC council in the state, field trips to the Cathedral, Fun Nights for develpmentally disabled, groundskeeping days, Friday fish fry during lent, is strong in SvDP, Boy Scouts, etc. The Hispanics are always doing some kind of evangelization or having some kind of retreat or making a whole bunch of noise down the hall about something.

Our pastor keeps reminding us that we are a “Eucharistic Community” and that the Eucharist is the source and summit of our faith. He reminds us frequently that we can do anything we set our minds to but that we have to be united around the Eucharist and around the altar and liturgy first. Everything flows from that.

This is it. My parish has 24 hour Eucharistic Adoration; my current involvement is as a Eucharistic Adorer, and I pray for special intentions for our parish as well as intentions in our book of petitions before the Blessed Sacrament…this small devotion unites me to the greater prayer community of our parish. Silent and unseen…

Please, when we have anti-Catholic overnight trolls, report them.
