In this book the author meditates on the various facets of the Eucharist described in the writings of the New Testament. Jesus left the mysterious gift of the Eucharist to his disciples as a precious diamond because of the hidden beauty he saw in their hearts. In turn they became keenly aware of the intimate connection between the breaking of the bread and the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The author guides the reader in delving more deeply into the meaning of the scripture passages. Reflection questions at the end of each chapter help readers personalize the content of this book. The book would be an excellent resource for individual and group meditation and study, as well as a reference for catechists, teachers, RCIA leaders, and anyone involved in faith formation.
