This Love Is Golden
This Love Is Golden
By Elena Sapphire
Dear one, the Lord is sweetly inviting you to a love so gentle and warm, one as soft as the sunlight and as rich as a castle made of pure gold. Renounce your black-and-white ideas of the world, of love. Let the stone hiding your heart be rolled away by He who was raised up from the dead, and step forth with Christ The King, into the beautiful glory of The Resurrection.

Is Transubstantiation Enough?
Is Transubstantiation Enough?
By Frances Paquette Rossi
While transubstantiation is an important way of conceptualizing the Eucharist, it is one that a majority of Catholics find difficult. Could it be we are spending too much energy reinforcing this theological concept and not enough cultivating a fuller, more Scriptural understanding of the Eucharistic Feast?

20 Books to Read for the National Eucharistic Revival
By Jacinta Boudreau
There are so many good books in varying depth and size on the Eucharist. But let us never forget that it is not just what we read about the Eucharist that counts, but it is how we TREAT Him. Do not forget the reverence owed to He Who Is.

The Proper Placement of the Tabernacle and Why it Matters
The Proper Placement of the Tabernacle and Why it Matters
By Emily Berns
The tabernacle containing the Body of our Lord Jesus Christ should always be the focal point in any Catholic church and should always tell the faithful without a doubt that this is Who we worship. The effort in some churches to move the tabernacle will confuse the faithful and ultimately lead to the point of the Mass being something other than the worship of God.

The Urge To Reverence
The Urge To Reverence
By Fr. John
I have recently learned that there is a controversy in the Church over the posture of the priest during Mass; ad orientem vs. versus populum. The priests who would like to see a return to Masses offered more often ad orientem tend to be from the younger clergy. The rubric of the Missal allow for either option. The younger clergy sense an urgent need for reviving reverence.

Eucharistic Revival: Where Is Our Focus?
By Frances Paquette Rossi
Where should our focus be as we think of the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist? Is it in the host, or is it his presence there, but also, more broadly but just as real, in the assembly and in the Word of God?

THE RULE OF PRAYER IS THE RULE OF BELIEF: THE RENEWAL OF LITURGICAL THEOLOGY
THE RULE OF PRAYER IS THE RULE OF BELIEF: THE RENEWAL OF LITURGICAL THEOLOGY
By Rev. David A. Fisher
Early Christians realized that the community of the Church was their family, not based on blood relation, or tribal and ethnic ties, but constituted through the liberating faith in Christ, creating a bond of love in which all who embrace this faith become one in Christ. The oneness of the Church is the unity of its Head, Jesus Christ, with its Body, the People of God.

The Ad Orientem Posture
The Ad Orientem Posture
By Emily Berns
The ad orientem posture of the priest has been much maligned, but it is the most reverent and proper way to celebrate the Mass, calling the attention of everyone present to God and inviting them to worship Him in the fullest way. It underscores the Mass as a sacrifice instead of a meal to be celebrated by everyone together.
