Over the last fifty years, there has been a significant decline in belief in the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist. How can we help reverse this trend for the sake of the Lord and the salvation of souls?
This book will help you develop a personal relationship with Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament, whether you are a believer or struggling. Fr. Armand de Malleray examines traditional Church teaching on the Holy Eucharist in these pages. He shows how it is done with precision, strength, and beauty in the time-honored Traditional Latin Mass missal.
In Ego Eimi - It Is I Fr. de Malleray explains the significance of each precious detail of the traditional Eucharistic liturgy, from the opening words of the Preparatory Prayers, "Judge me, O God," to the importance of punctuating the words of Consecration, to the meaning of the celebrant's genuflections before and after the elevation, in his engaging and accessible style.
Fr. de Malleray explains fundamental doctrines like transubstantiation, the simultaneous presence of Christ's Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity, and the nature of Eucharistic fragments. He also describes Our Lady's role in bringing us closer to her Eucharistic Son in moving detail.
Ego Eimi, which is filled with real-life stories, modern-day references, and cultural and historical reflections, will inspire you to worship the Real Presence as an ardent believer, orient you to the invisible realities that are taking place, and foster a greater love for our Eucharistic Lord in your heart. Through Scripture, Church teachings, and philosophical reasoning, you will come to value the Holy Eucharist more deeply. Experience the Eucharistic Fire: embrace the Real Presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and marvel at God's extravagant love.
Guided by the Church in which our Eucharistic Savior dwells, you will also learn how belief in the Real Presence:
- Surpasses other forms of God’s presence
- Is the central mystery and core tenet of our Faith
- Manifests God’s divine mercy as reflected in the prayers of the traditional Mass
- Trains us in contrition and prepares us for a favorable eternal judgment
- Deepens our love so that each time we worship will feel like our first, last, and only Mass
