| Summary: | One of the most poetic expressions of Teilhard de Chardin’s Christic mysticism is found in his Mass on the World, and other eucharistic texts.

In a context where his work is frequently set aside, by emphasizing the role of the Holy Spirit, this article tries to reclaim Père Teilhard’s eucharistic vision as part of a contemporary movement of reconversion to the earth and the dedication to ecological justice of the Christian community. |
