In my 15 years as a priest I have always been celebrating each Eucharist as if it were my only celebration. I celebrate the Eucharist with an uplifted spirit and with passion. I truly believe that it is the role of the presider and the liturgist to help the people celebrating the Eucharist, not attending or seeing some plain rituals. I do not think that the people want \"exiciting\" because I do think excitement does not last long. An uplifted spirit after the celebration will sustain. Peace, Vincent Hello Nick,

Thanks for the article! \”What will we need to do in our parishes and in our liturgies to make the mystery of faith more exciting than a hockey game?\”

I am completing my 15th year as a priest. In my 15 years as a priest I have always been celebrating each Eucharist as if it were my only celebration. I celebrate the Eucharist with an uplifted spirit and with passion. I truly believe that it is the role of the presider and the liturgist to help the people celebrating the Eucharist, not attending or seeing some plain rituals.

I do not think that the people want \”exiciting\” because I do think excitement does not last long. An uplifted spirit after the celebration will sustain.

Peace,
Vincent
