To talk about Church -Eucharist relation in the theology of Pope Francis, we begin from the speech he delivered to the participants of the 68 th National Week of Liturgy, which was organized by the Italian Episcopal Conference.He approaches the theme of the week (a living Liturgy for a living Church) in three determining moments, this present work follows his sequence: the liturgy is "living" by reason of the living presence of Christ; the liturgy is life for the entire people of God (the Church), it requires participation; the liturgy is life, because it is an experiential event to be rendered in practice ("there is no Eucharist without washing of the feet").
