Living Eucharist: The Transforming Presence of Christ

At one time or another, we have all heard people wish that they could get more out of Mass -- maybe you have wished this for yourself. Whatever the reasons, the search for meaning in the Mass always seems to focus on something external. If the music was better, if they were less distractions, if..., if..., if... -- the list can be a long one.Living Eucharist will help whoever has experienced these thoughts realize the riches of the Mass more completely. By moving through three doorways into the Eucharist, as it were, we are brought to a deeper understanding of the Mass as an event that transforms death into life, as a celebration that draws it reverence from our eucharistic relationship with one another as Church, and as a meeting with the ever-present Christ who is always waiting for us to be really present to him.Father Jeff VonLehmen is the author of 'Living Eucharist: The Transforming Presence of Christ', published 2001 under ISBN 9780764808005 and ISBN 0764808001.
