Come to the Feast: An Invitation to Eucharistic Transformation
Richard N. Fragomeni
Continuum, 1998
A great gift to yourself!
I really enjoyed this book. As a convert to Catholicism in 1997, I am constantly looking for resources to learn the nuances of each "Catholic thing" that Catholics do. Fr. Fragomeni's book, "Come to the Feast," does just this, and does it so well that what may ...

Holy Hour of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Soul Assurance

A wonderful prayer during Adoration
This is the first prayer I ever used during Adoration. I had an immediate love for it. There is one particular part of the prayer that is my favorite. This prayer asks Jesus to remember the prayer you make now when, in your last minutes of life, you may no longer ...

Praying In The Presence Of Our Lord: Prayers For Eucharistic Adoration
Our Sunday Visitor, 1999

Eucharist: Theology and Spirituality of the Eucharistic Prayer
Louis Bouyer
University of Notre Dame Press, 1989
The Real Deal
I first came across Bouyer's "Eucharist" at Boston College. The excerpts used in class were enough to convince me I had to have this book. Bouyer can flow too much, even in the French original, and this translation has its occasional problems but I'd call this the ...
