I wrote a blog post last week on the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist and why spectators at Mass might infer that Catholics don’t really believe in this sublime teaching, as they are often so lacking in reverence. A friend, recently returned from Denver in the US, has given me a book she brought back with her and which she is very enthusiastic about: Word Without End: The Mass – Splendor of the Incarnation, by Francis J Pierson.
Having now read it I can understand my friend’s response. It is an unusually clear, thoughtful and persuasive explanation of the three great, interlinked miracles of the Christian faith, the Incarnation, the Resurrection and the Eucharist, and why they are so important.
