The Eucharist
Eucharistic Miracles $17.00 - 302 pages - Soft Cover |
On
a numerous occasions in the history of the Church, God has seen fit to
offer miraculous visible proof of the Catholic teaching that at the
sacred
words of Consecration in the Mass, the bread and wine upon the altar
are
truly changed into the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. Joan
Carroll
Cruz's Eucharistic Miracles recounts 36 such major Eucharistic
miracles
in Church history. She tells of Hosts which have bled, Hosts
which
have become hard as flint when received by a person in mortal sin,
Hosts
which have levitated, Hosts which have manifested their hidden presence
by mysterious lights, consecrated "wine" which turned into visible
blood,
etc., as well as many miracles which occurred after sacrilege had been
committed against the Holy Eucharist. The events told here cover
a wide historical gamut, the first miracle described being that of
Lanciano,
Italy in the 8th century and the last that of Stich, Bavaria in
1970.
The author details the official investigations made into these
remarkable
events, and in many cases tells where the miraculous Hosts or Blood can
still be seen and venerated today. Also described here are many miraculous Eucharistic phenomena in the lives of the Saints: Mrs. Cruz tells of Saints who lived on the Eucharist alone, Saints who had raptures and ecstasies during Holy Communion, Saints who received Communion miraculously, and Saints who experienced levitation, visions, locutions, and phenomena of tears, fire and light in relation to their reception of the Eucharist. Plus, another section of the book gives the history of Eucharistic devotions, including Benediction, the Feast of Corpus Christi, and perpetual adoration. |
Adoration $15.95 - 250 pages - Soft Cover |
This work is offered for those seeking to enhance time spent before the Blessed Sacrament and for those seeking a good preparation for a full and active participation in the Liturgy. The inexhaustible depths of the Sacrament and the Liturgy have fascinated and inspired Catholics since the Last Supper. In our own times there is a renewed interest in the practice of Eucharistic Adoration. A new generation finds itself hungry for the Bread of Life and drawn to give the Lord thanks and adoration. This book seeks to provide prayerful souls with insights gleaned from the wealth of Church teaching and tradition. The selections are drawn from a variety of sources and times. Some are classical, some less well known, but all are solid and insightful. They come from Old and New Testaments, the Church Fathers, great saints, popes, councils, traditional prayers. Taken together, these prayers and meditations offer a balanced, rich view of the Eucharist, and their unique perspectives are intended to aid us in our understanding, appreciation and worship of this Sacrament of Sacraments.

The Blessed Eucharist $10.00 - 298 pages - Soft Cover |
"The
devil knows
that, according to the promise of Jesus Christ, they who receive
Holy Communion worthily will not fall into his power, but will obtain
eternal
life, and on this account he either tempts men to disbelieve the
mystery,
or he suggests every sort of pretext to keep them from receiving it.
But
he himself believes it and trembles. Would to God that all men had so
strong
a faith!" (Page 11). "The object of this little book is, then, to make Jesus in the Blessed Eucharist more generally known and better loved." (Page x). Thus Fr. Michael Muller gives us the reasons why he has written this book to increase our knowledge of and love for Jesus in the Blessed Eucharist. In the process he arrays before our minds every conceivable aspect of the Great Mystery of the Altar: the doctrine, Christ's love for us that made Him create this most beautiful Sacrament, why He veils Himself from us under the appearance of bread, how we should prepare ourselves for Holy Communion and how we should make thanksgiving thereafter. Plus, he sprinkles innumerable fascinating stories throughout, describing famous Eucharistic miracles, quoting from Scripture and the Saints, showing the virtues obtained from Communion worthily received and portraying the results of unworthily receiving Our Lord. He also exposes the phony excuses for not communicating frequently, describes what takes place in Heaven during Mass on earth, tells how the Angels gather round the altar at Mass, etc. , etc. |
Come to Me in the Blessed Sacrament $20.00 - 221 pages - Soft Cover |
This confidence in Christ teaches us that no matter how busy we are, and no matter how many things need to get done, the greatest need is to take time out and profess our trust and dependency on Him by spending an hour each day in prayer before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. This hour is absolutely the best and most fruitful time that we will spend on earth. My prayer is that this book helps you as it has helped me, and that you will share it with the laity. The laity need to be better educated that they may develop a Christ-consciousness in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament and learn to center their life on Him with a deep Eucharistic spirituality. How many of our Catholic laity will spend many days in keeping vigil with the dead body of a deceased relative, and, yet, will never think of visiting Our Risen Savior in the Blessed Sacrament who alone gives life to both the living and the dead? Today many of our people are walking away from the Church and going to other religions because their faith is not strong enough. So many never go beyond the surface of their Catholic faith. For this reason we should place a high priority on helping the people develop a personal relationship with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. How else do we expect to keep them? Fr. Roger G. Cortez |
Miracles of the Eucharist I $11.95 - 190 pages - Soft Cover |
Bob and Penny
Lord's first book, this is truly a work inspired by the Holy
Spirit.
Through Miracles of the Eucharist, Bob and Penny share how much Our
Lord
Jesus loves us. Whenever the Church is in crisis, the Lord brings
about Miracles of the Eucharist. When they wrote this book, they
were not aware, there was a need to defend the Real Presence of Jesus
in
the Eucharist, nor did know that the Lord would use this book, and the
Miracles within, to arm those who love and wish to defend the
Eucharist,
the Heart of our Faith. The time-frame of this book parallels
perfectly
the raging battle between our time-honored 2000 year Tradition that
Jesus
truly comes to us, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Blessed
Sacrament,
and those who would have us believe He Who comes to us, is just a
Symbol. Even the circumstances by which this book was written cannot be called coincidental. In 1976, Bob and Penny went to visit the Shrine of the Miracle of the Eucharist in Lanciano, Italy, because of a casual mention by a friend. The majesty of Our Lord Jesus in that Miracle so touched their hearts, they began researching these Miracles. In 1981, they met Fr. Antonio Giannini, custodian of the Shrine of the Miracles of the Eucharist. Through him and his direction, their travels covered every inch of Europe in search of the Miracles. In 1981, he predicted they would write a book. In 1986, they brought him the first copy of this book. Called by hundreds of thousands worldwide, "The book, which had to be written," it contains a series of accounts of the most visible Miracles of the Eucharist over the last 1500 years, and their relevance in our lives today. Bob and Penny not only present investigations by the Church authenticating the Miracles, but those of the Scientific world. |

And there is no better way to pray for the holy souls in purgatory than during Eucharistic Adoration.

of Our Lord
