Judging by the spine creases I have read/referred to this book extensively before. Brought it with me to Adoration again this week and it was familiar. The first part of the book is a selection of writings from saints, church fathers and councils on the meaning, importance and right worship of the Holy Eucharist. The second part was a compilation of prayers. An excellent reference and/or prayer book.

Good adoration read with writings from church fathers on the Eucharist.
