In the Eucharist we remember and celebrate the Passion and Death of Jesus Christ. The paschal feast is our greatest opportunity to approach God, and to forge the bonds of community within the Church, but too often we slip into a routine practice of the Mass. Father Basil Pennington seeks to reawaken the love, joy and mystery that flow from a committed eucharistic life. The Eucharist, Wine of Faith, Bread of Life presents Father Pennington's many touching stories and profound meditations from more than forty years of celebrating the Mass in every part of the world . Interspersed with the reflections are a variety of alternative eucharistic prayers, prayers from the rich Eastern Orthodox tradition of the Divine Liturgy, and eucharistic prayers for children all meant to suggest ways in which we may reinvigorate our eucharistic practice.
