 Catholics and the Eucharist
A Spiritual Introduction
Stephen B. Clark
Catholics and the Eucharist is a biblically based presentation of the theology of the Eucharist.

 God's Mercy Revealed
Healing for a Broken World
Msgr. Peter Magee
"One of the worst effects of sin," Msgr. Magee tells us, "is to make us think that God stops loving us." In turn we resist him, giving into a gnawing reluctance to believe that his love is unrelenting, forgiving, ever faithful, always persistent. We have "a crazy distrust of the mercy of God." At the same time, we want to dodge the truth of who God is and what he requires of us. But as God's Mercy Revealed demonstrates, it is the truth alone that brings our wounds and pain into the light where mercy heals. Both truth and mercy are essential; both are names for God's living love for his people. In compassionate, straightforward language, God's Mercy Revealed explores humanity's "sorry path to nowhere" as revealed in our willingness to distance ourselves from our Creator. Instead, the author urges us to close that gap, aware that even though sin might separate us from God, nothing stops him from coming close to us. An inspirational guide to embracing the truth and receiving the Divine Mercy that never fails.

 Loving the Church
Scriptural Meditations for the Papal Household
Raniero Cantalamessa, O.F.M. Cap.
In these reflections on the Letter to the Ephesians, Father Cantalamessa, preacher to the papal household, asks a critical question: How can we read, "'And Christ loved the Church' [Eph. 5:25], without asking the question, 'And I? Do I love the Church?'" The twentieth century was a time of theological ferment focusing attention on the nature of the Church. But, the author wonders, "Was there a proportionate growth in love for the Church?" Do we love the Church? Do we understand its nature? Do we weep over its sins or merely criticize? Are we building up or tearing down? Father Cantalamessa explores the Church as building, body, bride and mother and also examines the family, the domestic church in this inspirational meditation on the meaning of Church for each of us.
