According to the Second Vatican Council, "We ought to try to discover a new reverence for the Eucharistic mystery." This statement emphasizes that the significance of the Eucharist transcends our actions; our efforts serve the greater act that precedes our own. The liturgy is both the pinnacle of the Church's activity and the source of its power. This profound understanding of the Eucharist is explored in depth by Cardinal Ratzinger in a collection of previously unpublished texts. As the Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Ratzinger, an esteemed scholar, guides readers into the core of the Christian faith and its central mystery. He examines the biblical, historical, and theological aspects of the Eucharist while highlighting the importance of personal devotion and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.
