Eucharist, not music or priest, must be focus of Mass, says Cardinal Arinze

DALLAS (CNS) -- The celebration of the Eucharist is "the supreme act of worship" for Catholics, and is at the "very heart of our religion," a top Vatican cardinal told a crowd of nearly 2,000 gathered in Dallas for a liturgical conference. Nigerian Cardinal Francis Arinze, prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments, was the keynote speaker at the 43rd annual Southwest Liturgical Conference, held Jan. 18-21.
What a wonderful blessing it must be to be able to attend a conference with a speaker such a Cardinal Arinze. Anyone who has heard him or seen him certainly would understand this. I am looking forward to his coming here to St Louis for a liturgical conference in April.
