The Curé of Ars and the Holy Eucharist (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781505139341)

Few saints have spoken of the Holy Eucharist with the clarity, urgency, and reverence of St. John Vianney. Drawing from his sermons and spiritual instruction, this volume leads the reader into the heart of the Church's greatest mystery: Christ's true presence in the Eucharist as He is offered daily upon the altar. The meditations in this transformative text unfold the Eucharist as sacrifice, food, consolation, and pledge of eternal life, shaping not only belief but conduct. The Curé of Ars speaks here, Dear Reader, as a pastor formed by the altar--calling souls to deeper faith, more frequent Communion, and a life ordered by the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. This book trains the conscience, awakens hunger for God, and restores a sense of awe before what heaven touches on earth. Enter these pages ready to be instructed, corrected, and drawn nearer to the living Christ.
