The Eucharistic Revival Project

Edited by Phillip Hadden & Jonathon Fessenden

Foreword by Rev. Dennis J. Billy, C.Ss.R.

The Eucharist Revival Project is Missio Dei’s response to Pope Francis’ call to rediscover “the real and loving presence of the Lord” in the Eucharist. The Missio Dei Team’s belief in the power of Holy Communion is manifested in this book, inviting everyone who reads it to understand the historical, prophetic, and present-day miracle of Christ in the Eucharist and to seek this Sacrament of Love with a renewed fervor.

Contributing authors include Phillip Hadden, Kaleb Hammond, Chantal LaFortune, Fr. Chris Pietraszko, Dr. Joseph J. Plaud, Fr. Dominic Rankin, Christina M. Sorrentino, Kelly Ann Tallent, John Tuttle, and Joseph Tuttle.

Paperback: $19.99 | Kindle: $9.99

Missio Dei is a team of writers who desire to share their love of Christ with others. Drawing from Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, as well as from role models in the Catholic faith, Missio Dei collaboratively introduces a new way of evangelization through the media – as a united body, stepping out in faith to give reason for the hope which they have in Christ Jesus.

TESTIMONIALS

The Eucharistic Revival Project is a robust collection featuring very timely perspectives and teachings on the Eucharist’s centrality in the Catholic Church. The Project, in collaboration with ten authors, has wonderfully assembled a well-researched “field manual” for the reader seeking the truth of Jesus’ Real Presence in the Eucharist.” – Patrick O’Hearn, author of Parents of the Saints: The Hidden Heroes Behind Our Favorite Saints and contributor to Fr. Calloway’s Book: 30 Day Eucharistic Revival: A Retreat with St. Peter Julian Eymard

The Eucharistic Revival Project, developed by Missio Dei, a networked publication of Catholic authors, offers an important contribution to the National Eucharistic Revival, which began on the Feast of Corpus Christi, 2022. This book provides an enjoyable, reflective encounter with the Real Presence of Christ in our everyday Eucharistic celebrations.” – Dan Burke, founder and President of the Avila Institute for Spiritual Formation

“Missio Dei’s The Eucharistic Revival Project is a feast for the mind, heart, and soul, replete with thought-provoking and devotion-deepening insights and stories from, great saints, popes, literary figures, and modern-day clerical and lay Catholics. Listen carefully as they lay out their reasons to be grateful for Christ’s mysterious gift through which His very Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity should enter under the roofs of our mouths and cleave to our inmost parts. Your hunger, thirst, and love for the Eucharist will surely revive and thrive.” – Kevin Vost, Psy.D., author of two dozen Catholic books from Memorize the Faith! to What is God?

“The Eucharist Revival is a journey into the love for the Eucharist understanding deeply the Real Presence of Jesus Christ. More than ever, this is needed not only for non-Catholics to understand, but for many Catholics to revive their experience of Christ in the Eucharist. This is a book with many experiences of the Eucharist that will put a fire on anyone who has even a simple doubt. Each chapter with a new writer will inspire you to love Christ and to run to the nearest church to spend time with Him.” – Father Goyo Hidalgo, Priest of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, Associate pastor of St. Philomena Parish, Carson, California, and author of From Prodigal to Priest: A Journey Home to Family, Faith, and the Father’s Embrace

“I enthusiastically recommend reading and reflection upon the essays contained within this gem of a book, The Eucharistic Revival Project. May the one who ponders these essays grow in devotion to the eucharistic true body, blood, soul, and divinity of our risen Lord Jesus.” – Very Rev. Peter S. Kucer, MSA, STD, President-Rector, Holy Apostles College and Seminary, and author of Catholic Apologetics: Witnessing to and Defending the Faith

“Every resource that draws us closer to our Eucharistic Lord, in accordance with sound theology and Catholic tradition, is something to be grateful for, as we work and pray for a renewal of the Church’s first love. I congratulate the contributors to this volume on their efforts to focus (or refocus) minds and hearts on God’s greatest gift to us in this valley of tears, our manna in the desert as we go on pilgrimage to the heavenly Jerusalem.” – Dr. Peter Kwasniewski, author of The Holy Bread of Eternal Life: Restoring Eucharistic Reverence in an Age of Impiety
