Cardinal Arinze's Presentation of Apostolic Letter "Mane Nobiscum Domine"

Here is a translation of the address that Cardinal Francis Arinze gave today when presenting John Paul II's apostolic letter "Mane Nobiscum Domine." The text of the letter, published in Italian, has not yet been translated into other languages. The cardinal is the prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments.

The Letter has an Introduction, four chapters, and a Conclusion.
Cardinal Arinze provides some good insights into the Letter. The four chapters are:

Chapter 1: In the Wake of Vatican Council II and the Jubilee
Chapter 2: The Eucharist, Mystery of Light
Chapter 3: Eucharist, Source and Manifestation of Communion
Chapter 4: Eucharist, Principle and Plan of Mission
