Understanding Traditional Eucharistic Devotion Via the Phenomenology of Emmanuel Levinas

Understanding Traditional Eucharistic Devotion Via the Phenomenology of Emmanuel Levinas Current relational phenomenologies of the Holy Mass remain on a fundamentally horizontal level.

Abstract

Current relational phenomenologies of the Holy Mass remain on a fundamentally horizontal level. Here I develop a phenomenology of the Holy Mass and of Eucharistic devotion that explores the spiritual as well as the ethical transformations attendant on individuals of faith who engage in these practices. On the one hand, I hold as premise the traditional and magisterial teachings of the Church on the Sacrament and its devotion. On the other hand, I make use of the phenomenology of Emmanuel Levinas, interpreting him in line with the minority but not unsubstantial spiritual reading of his work. After first summarizing Church teaching on the Mass and the Eucharist, I point out how the relational approach to a phenomenology of the Eucharist has been misapplied to the Sacrament. I then point out shortcomings in the phenomenology of two other Catholic writers on the Eucharist, Jean‐Luc Marion and Michael Purcell. Finally, I develop a more adequate phenomenology of the Mass and the Eucharist, bringing together the spirituality and the ethics of the individual and of the Church as an ethical people.I.Summary of the ‘Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church on Some Aspects of the Church Understood as Communion’1Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger,
