Eucharist Hardcover by Bishop Barron
Through a threefold analysis of the Eucharist as sacred meal, sacrifice, and Real Presence-distinct but tightly interwoven motifs grounded in Scripture-Bishop Barron draws readers into the profound truth flowing out of Jesus' words at the Last Supper: "Take, eat; this is my body. . . . Drink from it, all of you; for this is my blood of the covenant."
We are not merely invited to remember Jesus or imitate his moral example; we are invited to the grace of communion-and ultimately, to the realm of God-by eating and drinking the very self that he offers in sacrifice.
