In the Eucharist we remember and celebrate the Passion and the Death of Jesus Christ. The paschal feast is our greatest opportunity to approach God, and to forge the bonds of community within the Church, but too often we slip into a routine practice of the Mass. Fr. Basil Pennington seeks to reawaken the love, joy, and mystery that flow from a committed Eucharistic life. The Eucharist: Wine of Faith, Bread of Life presents Fr. Pennington's many touching stories and profound meditations from more than forty years of celebrating the Mass in every part of the world. Interspersed with these reflections are a variety of alternate Eucharistic prayers, prayers from the rich Eastern Orthodox tradition of Divine Liturgy, and Eucharistic prayers for children-all meant to suggest ways in which we may reinvigorate the Eucharistic practice.
