BREAD THAT IS BROKEN by WILFRID STINISSEN, O.C.D.

Description

The Holy Eucharist is the Church’s most precious treasure, the source and summit of her worship and life. The Church is built upon and around the Eucharist. In this book, a renowned spiritual writer and Carmelite priest shows how receiving the Lord in the Eucharist has profound consequences, because the Eucharist is not only the great Sacrament that brings about oneness with Christ and with the faithful but also the foundational norm for Christian behavior. Any Christian who wonders how he should act, he writes, will find the answer in the Eucharist He is called to become like Jesus–bread that is broken “for the life of the world” (Jn 6:51).
