This
fabulous, colorful, easy to understand book
for children is a must for adults as well.
The accolades from seven cardinals and
bishops the Church are certainly well
deserved. When even adults do not know
the real teachings on the Eucharist, this
book presents complex truths thoroughly yet
simply.
Not only does this book explain
transubstantiation, the Mass, and how to
receive the Eucharist worthily but it also
has an entire section on Eucharistic
miracles and another on saints and the
Eucharist. Even those who have been
daily communicants for years will take from
this book renewed awe for this Most Blessed
Sacrament.
Moreover, the book speaks about not only the
Eucharist but also about many other
fundamentals of our Catholic faith.
Here are a few examples:
What
can we say of the Blessed Trinity?
The
Blessed Trinity is a dogma revealed by God.
Our reason alone could never discover it. It
is the first principal truth of our faith.
Is
Jesus present in even a tiny piece of the
Host?
Yes,
Jesus is there as long as that tiny piece
maintains the appearances of bread. By
the way, if we choose to receive Communion
by receiving the Host in the hand (if we
wish we can also receive It directly on the
tongue), we must be careful that not even a
tiny piece is left in the hand. If that
happens, we must put the piece in our mouth,
too. We should be most respectful f
the Holy Eucharist.
Does
the priestly service of the faithful consist
only in the offering of the Body and Blood
of Jesus to the Father?
No; we
are all invited to offer ourselves together
with the Body and Blood of Jesus. We
must be not only priests but also victims,
