This is My Body: A Call to Eucharistic Revival

Bishop Robert Barron describes in very unique vocabulary, the full in-depth explanation of the Holy Eucharist as we know it today & as it was in the Lord's day. I was filled with a much better understanding of this blessed sacrament & what it means to me. I'm feeling very much blessed since reading & absorbing the true meaning of the Eucharist. I highly recommend others to read this book. I've read it twice to really hear & understand the importance of the Eucharist in my faith.

I was baptized a Lutheran but the rest of my family is Roman Catholic. I normally attend Mass with my family at a local RC Church. The Eucharist has been of interest to me because of what it means to Roman Catholics faith and the differences in what it means to Lutherans. The thing that surprises me is the large percentage of Roman Catholics who do not believe that the Eucharist is Christ and as a consequence they do not seem to appreciate the miracle that is happening at every Mass, i.e. the bread and wine offering are transformed (transubstantiated) to the Body and Blood of Christ. The book is one of the resolutions that the Word On Fire organization has put forward to address this lack of belief issue. For me as an outsider, Bishop Barron has put forward a concise argument for the Eucharist, why it is central to Roman Catholic faith and what it means for Roman Catholics. I do not wish to get in the middle of a debate on the Eucharist but only to point out that this book should be read by all members of the Christian community so that we become more educate on the differences and similarities of our beliefs. thank you.
