"What a blessing to have Fr. Hardon use his
gifts of clarityto shed important light on this great reality."
Book Description
Fr. Hardon looks at the history of Eucharistic doctrine, particularly throughout the heresies that began to emerge in the tenth century and expanded in the Reformation period. He concisely explains the teaching of the Church about transubstantiation, Eucharistic adoration, the nature of the sacraments, and the Eucharist's character as Sacrifice, Communion, and Presence.
After teaching what the Eucharist is, Fr. Hardon explains what the Eucharist does. He gorgeously explains how our devotion to the Holy Eucharist transforms all aspects of our relationship with our Lord. The Eucharist transforms us into men and women who embody His self-giving love and proclaim in all our words and deeds, "Not my will, but Yours."
