The Mass on the World' by Teilhard de Chardin

Teilhard de Chardin SJ was a French philosopher and Jesuit priest who trained as a paleontologist and geologist - and participated in the discovery of Peking Man. This e-Renlai video excerpts parts of Teilhard de Chardin's mystical work 'La Messe sur le Monde'('the Mass on the World') in China's Ordos Desert - where, in the absence of bread and wine, he gave "all the matter in the universe" as an offering to God.
