This slim little book with a nice leatherette cover could go in your purse for those unexpected trips to visit Our LORD in the Blessed Sacrament. It serves just as well for regular daily or weekly Adoration.

The Introduction tells of a 1996 Eucharistic miracle involving our recently departed pope when he was Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio. Like many such miracles before it, when the bleeding communion host was examined by Dr. Frederic Zugibe, a cardiologist and forensic pathologist—who did not know the tissue’s origin—he determined that the substance was real flesh, containing human DNA, specifically, a piece of a human heart which had been tortured. The blood type was AB negative. This exactly matched the findings from the tests conducted on the 750 AD host from Lanciano, Italy and written about by one of the church newest saints, St. Carlo Acutis, here in his marvelous compilation of Eucharistic Miracles.

However, this isn’t a book about Eucharistic Miracles however fascinating they are. The Introduction was to whet the reader’s appetite for Who s/he is really coming to visit in Eucharistic Adoration. We may just see a monstrance, but faith tells us it our LORD, Jesus Christ.

There are twenty-one Scriptural chapter reflections and prayers in this book. Each individual reflection begins with a line from Scripture and then the familiar prayer we open every Morning and Evening Prayer with, ”O God, come to my assistance. O Lord, make haste to help me.” It’s followed by a beautiful Act of Adoration written by St. John Henry Cardinal Newman and then the Reflection on that first scripture verse and its backstory.

The book covers everything related to the Eucharist from ‘The Tree of Life’ to ‘On the Road to Emmaus’.

I found it helpful and not unduly difficult, helpful for beginners and yet even after having read much more complex books on the Eucharist, it is still nice to read something so simple. My copy is going in the glovebox of my car, for when I forget or don’t have my usual reading material.
