Many people find going to church to be boring and pointless. Why bother? Timothy Radcliffe suggests that the Eucharist works at a deep level, transforming our humanity, so that we share God's life. Listening to the readings, the homily and the creed all take us through the crises and challenges of faith. From the offertory through to the end of the Eucharistic prayer we are caught up in the hope that was Christ's, faced with Good Friday. From the 'Our Father' until we are sent on our way, especially in receiving communion, we are formed as people who are capable of love.
