The Holy Eucharist

By Saint Alphonsus Liguori · Published by TAN Books

Overview

Saint Alphonsus Liguori, Prince of Moral Theologians and Doctor of the Church, was one of the greatest preachers in Catholic history. In The Holy Eucharist, he turns his profound theological insight and pastoral zeal toward the greatest mystery of the Faith, the Sacrifice that brings about our salvation. With clarity and devotion, Saint Alphonsus invites readers to deepen their love for Christ truly present in the Most Blessed Sacrament.

As a bishop and founder, Saint Alphonsus tirelessly promoted reverence for the Eucharist, even suspending priests who celebrated Mass without proper dignity. His passion for Eucharistic devotion flows through every page of this masterwork, where he combines biblical teaching, theological reflection, and practical meditations designed to lead souls toward holiness.

Addressing both timeless and modern spiritual struggles, Saint Alphonsus speaks about lukewarmness, humility, charity, suffering, and the meaning of loving Christ in the Eucharist. This volume also includes novenas to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Holy Spirit, along with meditations for the Octave of Corpus Christi, making it a rich treasury for Eucharistic devotion throughout the year.
