Review Quotes

"These reflections on the Eucharist from Pope Francis's writings, speeches, and homilies offer reflective reading. The 100 excerpts include some widely quoted phrases as well as many lesser-known pearls of wisdom from the pontiff."

"For the church in the United States, Pope Francis on Eucharist comes at an opportune moment. As the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops continues to organize its National Eucharistic Revival, which often seems to stand in direct competition with the ongoing global Synod on Synodality, this slim book of meditations on the Eucharist suggests a way to bridge the gap. The short meditations in this book are drawn directly from the preaching and writings of Pope Francis and offer a truly multifaceted view of what the Eucharist means."

"In Pope Francis on Eucharist, the compilation of statements reminds the reader of the Eucharist as action, of its meal-like quality to draw people together, and of our need to approach the Eucharist ever anew."
Catholic Books Review

"These meditations from Pope Francis are not only invitations to personal prayer but reveal something about the Eucharistic vision of the Holy Father and therefore the whole Catholic church. Looking through these reflections, you see themes linked to every dimension of the Eucharistic life including remembrance, sacrifice, adoration and presence, and solidarity. I can think of few better resources for renewing a Eucharistic attitude in the church than these meditations of Pope Francis."
