“Why go to church? What is the point? We go
to receive a gift, a share in God’s life through faith, hope and charity. God
gives himself discreetly, quietly, and often without any dramatic experiences.
Grace works the patient transformation of our lives. The Eucharist is a
dramatic re-enactment of the story of our lives, of what it means to be a human
being made for God. … I am trying to spot ways in which [Eucharistic worship]
engages our lives so that we can be open to receive the gift of grace – not
just when we are in church, but all the time. … I am trying to put my finger on
the pulse of the drama, and see how it is the drama of every human life....”[1]
