Summary:Abstract. God chooses his very self in the eucharistic liturgy, and in so doing, communicates mercy and reconciliation. Karl Rahner and Edward Schillebeeckx contribute the ideas of self-communication and encounter with God as essential to the sacraments. Utilizing the theology of Jesus Christ as the Word God self-communicated, and the work of Francis Coady on revelation in the eucharistic prayer, this thesis analyzes the eucharistic liturgy of the Roman rite to explore the riches of reconciliation. Special attention to the eucharistc prayers for reconciliation I and II draw our attention to the saving and reconciling actions of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, who proclaim God's mercy and desire for reconciling sinners. In the epicletic event of the eucharistic liturgy, God communicates mercy and reconciliation, and invites the church, the Body of Christ, to share in the gift of self God offers: Christ's Body and Blood.
