The Sacrament of Mission is for whom?
The power of the keys is to let in, as well as to keep out. The Eucharist is the Sacrament of Mission, to let in, even the sinners.
For humans to keep others out of it is taking steps we should not dare, ourselves being sinners.
It gives grace that we ourselves cannot give. ("The Eucharist as sacrament of the mission of the Church," PRIESTS & PEOPLE, Vol. 4 No.2, February 1990, a journal that ceased in 2004.)
