That there may not be a repeat of same sentiments later, these 3 most ignored dialogues - occurring at various stages of the Eucharist- have been grouped as a single thought herein.
The devil is in the details. The devil’s strength at preventing the potency of the Eucharistic value lies in distractions to the details of these 3 short, precise and potent prayers: The Collect, Prayer over Offerings and Prayer after Communion.
Who is it that has not had his mind distracted out from these interludes, book read prayers that act as fulcrums and milestones, signalling the next phase of our Eucharistic journey, where faith brings the future to the present for the few discerning and listening minds?
Who, like an ‘O yes’ Member, has not thoughtlessly responded ‘amen’ to these discourses out of which only the sages know the efficacy of such mustard prayers, said within the one true holy, catholic and apostolic church, Christ’s body on earth?
Perhaps we are distracted because we regard these prayers as either not contemporaneous or detailed enough to reflect the pressing motives of our modern longings. But it is here, where dialogues in time opens the heart of eternity.
The potency of these short discourses lie in their collegiality and universality; here, eternity communes with time and speaks of a positive destiny for he who is able to grasp them.
