Description: This is my favorite book written about the spiritual life. Cantalamessa helped me see the Eucharist from dozens of perspectives that changed the way I attended daily Mass and how I live every day. I found that reading just one short chapter gave me enough to medidtate on for close to an hour. Very, very powerful.

Review Summary: Transforming Read on the Eucharist
Date: 2007-01-22
Details: The best book I have read on the Eucharist in a very long time,THE EUCHARIST, OUR SANCTIFICATION, inspires the reader to greater love for the Eucharist and for the Church. It presents a scholarly yet simple approach to the subject, enriching the presentation with the historical foundation for various dimensions of the Eucharist and suggesting implications for personal spirituality as well as Church unity. It is the kind of book one can only read a little at a time; it is so rich!
Review Summary: The Eucharist, Our Sanctification
Date: 2005-08-01
Details: This is an excellent book because it addresses the issue of the Eucharist in ways that go beyond the standard answers. Raniero Cantalamessa paints a picture that has texture, smells and richness that have really helped me to understand the depths of the Eucharist and how it has a necessary meaning for my life and the Church. I'm a protestant, and Raniero Cantalamessa has given me a lot to "chew". I would recommend it to anyone who is serious about the subject.
Review Summary: Great journey to the rich well of the Eucharist

Details: Excellant meditation tool. Fr. Cantalamessa is a scholar as well as mystic when it comes to the greastest prayer of all times-Eucharist. I have to admit my first impression of the book was half favorable. With many text books during my seminary trainning I consider this one as one too many. But it was during my secend year of priesthood that I found this little book, a great tool and assistance in my priestly ministery.
Review Summary: A life-changing, insightful little book.
