The Wonders of the Mass and the Eucharist

The most valuable gifts of the Holy Trinity to us, above all others, are the Mass and the Eucharist. Sr. Mary Ann Fatula leads you to the feet of the saints to contemplate the Sacred Mysteries in this awe-inspiring book. You will discover how to find calm in the Lord's close bodily presence through obtaining the antidote for temptation, sweetness in trials, and healing from anguish.

The saints will gently tell you about the tremendous gifts the Lord sends you at Mass and via this most amazing sacrament as Sr. Mary Ann unlocks the treasure trove of literature on the Holy Eucharist. You will discover how to deepen your recall at Mass, how to treasure the Lord's close presence in Holy Communion, and how to rest in the Lord during Eucharistic adoration. As your devotion to the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament grows, you will come to enjoy the thrill of the Trinity's intimate love, the light and warmth of the Holy Spirit's anointing, and the joyous prospect of everlasting salvation all over again.

The Mystery of Faith will come alive to you in a fresh manner as you reflect with Sr. Mary Ann on the insights of Church Fathers and other great saints such as Thomas Aquinas, Catherine of Siena, Teresa of vila, John Henry Newman, John Vianney, Thérèse of Lisieux, and John Paul II. You will never again experience Mass in the same manner, nor will you get tired of returning to these saints' insights to be inspired.

You will discover that the Lord Himself makes His most loving Last Supper, His hallowed death on the Cross, and His triumphant Resurrection available to us at every Mass in order to feed us with His own precious Body and Blood. You will find many more amazing graces that the Lord wishes to bestow on us during Mass, such as the grace that converted St. Elizabeth Ann Seton's doubt about the Catholic Church into a determination to sacrifice all for the Faith. Sr. Mary Ann will show you:

• The key to seeing with faith the profound mysteries invisibly taking place at Mass
• The depth of the Lord’s desire to work miracles of love for us through the Mass and the Eucharist
• The comfort, tenderness, and sweetness of the Lord’s intimate physical presence within us in the Eucharist
• Many other wonderful blessings the Lord lavishes upon us when we receive Holy Communion with the desire to love Him
• How the Holy Eucharist ignites our love for one another, especially the poor and the suffering
• The wondrous power of the Precious Blood of Jesus — even in the lives of hardened sinners
• The power of the Eucharist to make the devil flee from us
• The grace that the Eucharist gives us to approach death with confidence and trust

This is a must-read for everyone interested in the Eucharistic resurgence. The saints demonstrate that when people begin to recognize the truth about Jesus' Real Presence in the Eucharist, the Holy Spirit powerfully draws them to, or back to, the Church, and immeasurably deepens the joy and love of those who learn to cherish the life-giving treasures of the Mass and the Eucharist.
