Description:
There has been a great deal of media attention directed at the Catholic view of the Eucharist with the release of Pope John Paul II's new encyclical, Ecclesia de Eucharistia. The media's reporting on the "rules" of the Blessed Sacrament, often sensationalized and taken out of context, can confuse or alienate many Catholics. Most importantly, it neglects the utter wonder and joy with which our Faith contemplates the mystery of Christ's sacrifice.With this encyclical, the Holy Father hoped to rekindle a sense of reverence toward the sacrament so central to the Catholic Church. You can help spark a greater appreciation and understanding with Our Sunday Visitor's newest pamphlet, Pope John Paul II's New Encyclical on the Eucharist.
This attractive and convenient pamphlet captures the essence of the pope's personal and inspiring letter. It condenses the major points and addresses the controversial issues, making it an ideal introduction to the Church's teaching on the Eucharist. It also reveals the Pope's devotion to the sacrament, even offering concrete ways your parishioners can demonstrate an increased reverence for the Blessed Sacrament.
It's a wonderful resource to insert in your bulletin, display in the back of church, and pass along to new Catholics undergoing instruction. Bring a renewed excitement about the Eucharist to your parish today!
