In The Basic Book of the Eucharist, Fr. Lawrence Lovasik, author of the beloved bestseller The Hidden Power of Kindness, says that in the Eucharist Catholics can find “the unsearchable riches of Christ.” In this book, he shows how. Fr. Lovasik emphasizes Christ’s Real Presence in the Eucharist, helping you recognize His presence there. With deep and warm faith, he shows you how you can receive everything that God offers you in the Mass — including quite a few important spiritual graces that you probably aren’t aware of. He tells you how Holy Communion can bring you to real union with God, give you joy and consolation, and even bring peace and happiness to your family. Fr. Lovasik even explains how you can overcome some of the misperceptions that are common among Catholics about frequent Communion and reveals why you should seek the help of Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament amid your day-to-day pressures and troubles. So if you’re looking for increased protection from sin, a greater ability to love God and others, and an unfailing source of peace, let Fr. Lovasik show you the way to find all this and more in the Holy Eucharist. Based firmly on Scripture and Church teachings, The Basic Book of the Eucharist will help you receive Communion more worthily and find in it a preparation for Heaven — as well as a foretaste of its delights. “Fr. Lovasik calls us back to the essential truth of this astonishing miracle.” Mark P. Shea, This is My Body: An Evangelical Discovers the Real Presence “A very readable and valuable tool for educating Catholics about why the Eucharist has rightly been called ‘the source and summit of the Christian life.’” James J. Drummey, Catholic Replies “In an age when so many persons have forgotten Catholic teaching on the mystery of the blessed Eucharist, this simple handbook will remind them about the Real Presence, true sacrifice, and Holy Communion. Priests, seminarians, and religious educators should find it especially useful.” Bernard Cardinal Law, Archbishop of Boston

The Eucharist: Mystery of Presence, Sacrifice, and Communion explores the three ends of the Sacrament of Sacraments: God’s true presence, His redemptive sacrifice, and spiritual nourishment through communion with Him. In this follow-up to his groundbreaking work, Faith Comes From What Is Heard, Lawrence Feingold constructs a biblical vision of the Eucharist from its prefigurement in the Old Testament to its fulfillment in the New and presents the Eucharistic theology of the Church Fathers, St. Thomas Aquinas, and magisterial teaching from centuries past through today. The Eucharist is a masterful text, both challenging and spiritually rich, that comprehensively examines the unspeakable mystery that is the Eucharist.

A revelatory exploration of the Jewish roots of the Last Supper that seeks to understand exactly what happened at Jesus’ final Passover. “Clear, profound and practical—you do not want to miss this book.”—Dr. Scott Hahn, author of The Lamb’s Supper and The Fourth Cup Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist shines fresh light on the Last Supper by looking at it through Jewish eyes. Using his in-depth knowledge of the Bible and ancient Judaism, Dr. Brant Pitre answers questions such as: What was the Passover like at the time of Jesus? What were the Jewish hopes for the Messiah? What was Jesus’ purpose in instituting the Eucharist during the feast of Passover? And, most important of all, what did Jesus mean when he said, “This is my body… This is my blood”? To answer these questions, Pitre explores ancient Jewish beliefs about the Passover of the Messiah, the miraculous Manna from heaven, and the mysterious Bread of the Presence. As he shows, these three keys—the Passover, the Manna, and the Bread of the Presence—have the power to unlock the original meaning of the Eucharistic words of Jesus. Along the way, Pitre also explains how Jesus united the Last Supper to his death on Good Friday and his Resurrection on Easter Sunday. Inspiring and informative, Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist is a groundbreaking work that is sure to illuminate one of the greatest mysteries of the Christian faith: the mystery of Jesus’ presence in “the breaking of the bread.”
