Being Claimed by the Eucharist We Celebrate: A Spiritual Narrative for Priests and Deacons - Paperback

by Scott P. Detisch (Author)

2023 Catholic Media Association First Place Award, Church Professional

The eucharistic celebration is a vital part of the life and ministry of every priest and deacon. At the same time, the Eucharist is also a compelling narrative of all that Christ is for the people of God. In this book, Fr. Scott Detisch explores a spirituality of holy orders through the eucharistic actions of Christ: take, bless, break, and give. These are more than ritual actions the deacon or priest performs within the liturgy. As they did for Jesus Christ, these eucharistic words define who a priest or deacon is for God's people.
