Eucharist a Short History

Father McBride, popular catechist and author, traces the historical development of our celebration of the Eucharist, from its institution at the Last Supper up to the reforms of the Second Vatican Council and its meaning today. ""One conclusion we can draw from this sketch of the history of the Mass,"" Father McBride writes, ""is that changes in the liturgy, whether large or small, have been occurring since the Last Supper.""
