When We Eat this
Bread
Understanding
the Most Blessed Sacrament
177
pages
(c) Copyright by Mauricio I. Perez, 2004
The first book of the series Artos Thes
Zoohes (Bread of Life) serves as the text book for the class
"Understanding the Eucharist". The Most Blessed Sacrament is
studied from all its angles, beginning at the anthropological
level, and finishing on the spiritual experience. The book
presents discussions such as:
-
Why is the most important of the
sacraments distributed precisely in the form of a meal
(bread and wine), and not in the form of another gesture,
such as a kiss, or a blow on the forehead, a pat in the
shoulder, or a handshake?
-
What are the roots of the accounts of the
institution of the Eucharist found in the New Testament?
-
What are the dogmas all Catholics must
believe concerning the Eucharist?
-
Who can be an Extraordinary Minister of
Holy Communion and what is the true scope of his functions?
Contents:
-
The History of the Eucharist
-
The Eucharist in Scripture
-
The Theology of the Eucharist
-
The Liturgy of the Eucharist
-
Rules and Canons
-
Eucharistic Spirituality
The book contains also three appendixes:
I. Encyclical "Ecclessia de Eucharistia"
of Pope John Paul II
II. Summary of the instruction "Redemptionis
Sacramentum"
III. Norms for the Distribution and
Reception of Holy Communion under Both Species in the Dioceses
of the United States of America
