Cardinal Lustiger speaks in his speeches in a brilliant shorthand about what he knows and loves - the Holy Mass. The Mass is the pinnacle and source of the entire Christian life. It is a living event, meaningful in every part, created by God for all people at all times.
If we hesitate to go to mass on Sunday, let us remember that it is God who frees each of us from loneliness and isolation and makes us God's people, living from faith and united by Christ. Let us be invited by Wisdom personified, who pierced the table and shouts her invitation over the city (Prov. 9:2-3). Let the Word - the Son of God - invite us to the feast of thanksgiving: the Eucharist.
