P. Elias Vella nepředkládá čtenáři další teologický traktát o eucharistii, spíše touží naučit nás z ní žít, zpřístupnit nám tento vzácný Boží dar. Ukazuje praktickou cestu, jak se stát eucharistickým člověkem, jak dovolit, aby nás přijímání eucharistie skutečně proměňovalo. Píše o eucharistii, která proměňuje životy, která osvobozuje od Zlého mocněji než exorcismus, která přináší usmíření a vnáší do srdcí Boží pokoj. Ukazuje eucharistii jako zdroj našeho uzdravení a vnitřní proměny. Eucharistický člověk se stává Boží chválou, myslí jako Ježíš, jedná jako Ježíš, miluje jako Ježíš - stává se darem pro druhé.
