    The “Mysterium Fidei” of Pope Paul VI and

    the “Mystery of the Eucharist” of Max


    Thurian are complementary with each other.
    Pope Paul VI would like to set the real stand
    of the Catholic Church about the Real
    Presence of Christ in the Eucharist while Max
    Thurian would like to initiate ecumenical
    dialogues by reaffirming the doctrines of the
    Catholic Church in a balanced theological
    view.

    INTRODUCTION:

    Nowadays, people are always searching for a meaningful life. Many are looking for a

    purposeful life. This continuous search of man, most often than not, leads him for his gradual

    search for God. The secular world provides us temporal and short-time pleasure but humanity is

    looking for a life-time joy. The presence of God is no longer felt so much in the urban places. The

    presence of Christ seems to be irrelevant in the modern society.

    Responding to these realities, the Church offers humanity the very source of a meaningful

    life – Christ. The goal of the Catholic Church is to proclaim the presence of Christ in the lives of all

    men and women despite of their sufferings, failures and pains. The Second Vatican Council

    affirms this mission of the Church,

    “The People of God believes that it is led by the Lord's Spirit, Who fills the earth. Motivated by this faith, it labors to
    decipher authentic signs of God's presence and purpose in the happenings, needs and desires in which this People
    has a part along with other men of our age. For faith throws a new light on everything, manifests God's design or
    man's total vocation, and thus directs the mind to solutions which are fully human.” 1
