Synopsis

"This little book could thus be seen as a paper shrine to the Most Holy Eucharist. Chapters 1 and 2, "Solving the 'Chrisham Complex'?" and "Radiations through Lenses," are the narthex or entrance to the building. They adjust the perspective from a psychological point of view to that of the Christian revelation. Chapters 3 through 7 figure the nave of the building. Thus, chapter 3, "The Transubstantiation," defines what is at stake. Chapter 4, "The Holy Eucharist as Judgment," shows how the Holy Eucharistapplies to our earthly lives in anticipation of eternity. Chapter 5, "Gradation of the Modes of Presence," provides a criterion to assess the Eucharistic presence. A homily rather than an essay, chapter 6, "Who Says 'Hocus Pocus'?", examines the claim for the power to transubstantiate. Chapter 7, "Eleison!-The Latin Mass in One Greek Word," describes the context in which the Holy Eucharist occurs-namely, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Having, by then, walked down the nave of our paper shrine, we reach the transept, that is, the two left and right arms of the cross-shaped building. Thus, chapter 8, "Eucharis- tic Fragments," explains the practical implications of Christ's presence in the Sacred Host. Symmetrically, chapter 9, "On Concomitance: 'Is ChristDivided?' "-shows the extent of Christ's presence, both in the Sacred Host and in the Chalice. With chapter 10, the longest of all, we properly enter the sanctuary. "The Formulas of Consecration" offers a detailed examination of the words printed in the missal, of those words as spoken by the priest, and of the gestures he per- forms as vehicles of the divine power and as guidance for the congregation to adhere in faith to the Eucharistic change. We may call this topic the nuclear reactor of the Eucharistic mystery. Finally, the two last chapters represent the ambulatory of our paper church, surrounding the rear of the sanctuary. Our brief chapter 11, "Holy Mass as the Measure of Motion," aims at gathering the accumulated Eucharistic considerations into one simple perspective. The final chapter, "Light the Beacons!" in a style proper to a homily, connects the Holy Eucharist with the priesthood and states the reasons why optimism is essential to Catholicism"--
