"The Eucharist is not a jolly useful springboard for the real Christian business ...

... of going out and changing the world and doing social service and voting Green."

Just another in a series of marvelous lines by Fr Hunwicke (this one, in a post that is primarily about the new translations)

He goes on:
The Eucharist is the telos, the end and purpose of human life and existence, the Son's everlasting propitiation before His Father in a wonderful mysterion granted to be among us. Seeing the Mass as having a utilitarian purpose, however high and noble, is the beginning of godlessness.
