Our Daily Bread: Glimpsing the Eucharist through the Centuries

Our Daily Bread provides wisdom and inspiration about the Eucharist chosen from 21 centuries of writing. The diverse selections range from St. Paul’s Letter to the Corinthians—the earliest-surviving written account of the Eucharist—through Francis of Assisi and Julian of Norwich, to Blessed Teresa of Calcutta and Pope Benedict XVI, with dozens of saints and scholars in between. The forward is written by Francis Cardinal George, archbishop of Chicago. With poems and hymns to focus our gaze, Our Daily Bread will be a permanent resource for nourishing and deepening a person’s faith in the Eucharist—the summit and source of our life in Christ.
