In This Is My Body, Father Raniero Cantalamessa, the Pontifical Household Preacher, reflects eloquently on the mystique of ancient Latin hymns and their relevance for todays Catholic. Using Adoro Te Devote, Ave Verum, and other Latin hymns, Fr. Cantalamessa contemplates the mystery of the Eucharist with devotion, adoration, and intuition. These sermons, translated beautifully into English from their original Italian, are a celebration of the real presence of Jesus in the gift of the Eucharist that will fill the reader with prayerful enjoyment of truth and heartfelt reverence for Gods divine presence here on earth.
