No time more opportune than the present could be chosen to place before the public this little volume by St. Peter Julian Eymard. The saint left numerous manuscript notes on the Most Blessed Sacrament. These notes were the fruits of his own Adoration and they served for the basis of his sermons. He practised what he preached, he preached as he had prayed, and what he had said to Our Lord in the secrecy of his own heart, he repeated aloud for the instruction and edification of his hearers. The Real Presence will afford food for deep and serious meditation. Its pages are studded with Eucharistic jewels just as they fell from the lips of the ardent Apostle of the Holy Eucharist.
