“The centrality of the mystery of Christ celebrated in the liturgy” and the importance of "being in agreement and full communion with the Pope and the ministers of every diocese" are the key points of the speech that Benedict XVI gave to some representatives of the neo-cathecumenal communities that he received in the morning at an audience in Aula Paolo VI along with Kiko Arguello, Carmen Hernandez and padre Mario Pezzi, some presbyters and seminarians. In addition, before some cardinals and bishops, the Pope gave 200 neo-cathecumenal families a missionary mandate to go to other countries: “A task, this one commented Benedict XVI which falls in the sphere of the new evangelisation in which it is just the family that plays a most important role”. “Your great experience can perfectly show how the centrality of the mystery of Christ, celebrated in the liturgy, is a privileged and an essential way to build lively and persevering Christian communities”, continued the Pope as he recalled the recent "regulations on the celebration of the Eucharist that have been laid down" in his name by the Congregation of the Cult of God and the Discipline of the Sacraments, "just to help the neo-cathecumenal journey increase the impact of its action of evangelisation in communion with the whole people of God”. “I am sure concluded Benedict XVI you will carefully adhere by these regulations” to make "your apostolate even more effective, in agreement and full communion with the Pope and the ministers of every diocese”.
