How one vision sparked a church-wide devotion to the Eucharist
This book tells the story of St. Juliana of Cornillon and the enduring impact of her call for a Feast of Corpus Christi. It links personal faith, historical events, and liturgical practice to show how a young visionary helped shape Catholic worship around the Blessed Sacrament.
The pages explore Juliana’s life, the challenges she faced, and the way her zeal for the Feast grew from private devotion into a universal practice. It highlights the patience, humility, and perseverance that accompanied her mission, as well as the Church’s cautious response and eventual confirmation of the feast.
Readers will see how this devotion has evolved through centuries of church history, and why the Feast remains a central expression of reverence for the Eucharist in the Christian tradition.
Ideal for readers interested in church history, devotion to the Eucharist, and the people who shaped Catholic liturgy.
