Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outlining and "explaining" the liturgy, the ritual phases and the mystic and symbolic elements of the Gnostic Holy Eucharist, a profoundly moving religious rite, the sacrament central to 2,000 years of Christian practice and worship. This book also contains illustrations and a glossary of terms. "As light bears witness to the principle of light, or the movement of a tree branch bears witness to the wind, so the Seven Sacraments are the manifesting agents of the mysteries which in the words of St. Clement "are delivered mystically." The ordinary, human consciousness cannot find anything within itself that would cause man to perform a mystery. It can only do so when it is seized by the mystery. Once the Seven Sacraments are interpreted, understood and practiced in the light of the Gnosis, their grace and redeeming power will grow and expand to cover the whole Christian world with its blessing. May those who recognize this possibility devote their labors with increasing force to this great task and may their efforts be crowned with the success they so richly deserve!" - Stephan Hoeller

Download or read book The Eucharist: Mystery of Presence, Sacrifice, and Communion written by Lawrence Feingold and published by Emmaus Academic. This book was released on 2018-04-01 with total page 706 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Eucharist: Mystery of Presence, Sacrifice, and Communion explores the three ends of the Sacrament of Sacraments: God’s true presence, His redemptive sacrifice, and spiritual nourishment through communion with Him. In this follow-up to his groundbreaking work, Faith Comes From What Is Heard, Lawrence Feingold constructs a biblical vision of the Eucharist from its prefigurement in the Old Testament to its fulfillment in the New and presents the Eucharistic theology of the Church Fathers, St. Thomas Aquinas, and magisterial teaching from centuries past through today. The Eucharist is a masterful text, both challenging and spiritually rich, that comprehensively examines the unspeakable mystery that is the Eucharist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this companion volume to The Beauty of the Eucharist, Father Dennis Billy examines the eucharistic teaching and contribution of twenty-six saints and mystics from the church's past. Some taught with conviction from pulpit or classroom. Others showed a pastor's concern for hungering souls. Still others searched the mystical depths of the sacrament and the everlasting union with God it foreshadows. Lastly, voices from more recent times have urged us to see in the Eucharist a powerful force for social change and personal transformation, for compassion and peace. Together, these form a moving chorus of insight and spirituality which is helpful to all who are seeking a deeper grasp of the incredible riches of the mysterium fidei.

Download or read book The Apples of Apollo written by Carl A. P. Ruck and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the apostle Paul proclaimed the new Christian Mystery to the factious congregation at Corinth, it was clear that this Eucharist was meant to replace the pagan Mystery that had been celebrated for over a millennium just a short distance away at the sanctuary of Eleusis. Christianity evolved within the context of Judaic and Hellenistic healing cults, magic, shamanism, and Mystery initiations. All four of these inevitably imply a sacred ethnopharmacology, with traditions going back to earlier ages of the ancient world. The essays in The Apples of Apollo edited by Ruck, Staples and Heinrich attempt to uncover the original food of the sacramental communion. After a preliminary review of the rites and etiquette of the sacramental wine of the god Dionysos, whom Christ would replace as sacrificial offering, the myth of Ixion (who is named for the semi-parasitic plant called mistletoe) is linked to Apollo's role in demanding human victims and the persistence of such rites in the Druidic solstice sacrifice of the "wicker man." Behind the symbolism of the mistletoe and other psychoactive plants lurks the Soma of the Vedic tradition and its botanical original, the fly-agaric mushroom. Rather than being marginal to Classical culture, the fly-agaric, and the array of metaphors its amazing transmutations suggest, is central to the myths of the Greek heroes, and in particular to the first of them all, the hero Perseus, who reformed the religion practiced at the ancient city of Mycenae.

Book excerpt: "In The Eucharist, popular writer and lecturer Joseph M. Champlin explores the eucharistic mystery from three different perspectives: first as sacrifice, then as sacrament, and finally as presence. In addition to this, he analyzes another mystery of faith: the Paschal, Passover, or Easter Mystery of Christ's life, death, resurrection, and return." "The book outlines several desirable inner qualities with which we greet the Risen Christ as our guest, and describes ways in which the Eucharist can inspire us to serve others. Each chapter begins with a personal reflection by a eucharistic minister and concludes with a brief related excerpt from the Catechism of the Catholic Church."--BOOK JACKET.

This book was released on 2008-12-01 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Eucharist is one of the central acts of worship for Christians--some would say the most important. Yet within the many traditions of Christianity there appears to be no united voice--even in an age like ours in which ecumenical agreements unthinkable until recently have sought convergence and achieved it. Anglicans have often been described as occupying a middle ground between Catholics and Protestants. They have even been criticized for being woolly! In this well-presented and readable book, two scholars have set out to chart an Anglican course through the key areas of Eucharistic presence and sacrifice--how Jesus is present at the Supper and how the celebration relates to the self-offering of Christ. They quote many authors from different viewpoints over the past four hundred years including poets. They tell a story that is rich and varied, and they make accessible to a fresh generation what it means to define, sift, probe, and discuss the meaning of the Holy Communion, yet still hold on to that vital aspect of all Christian belonging and living--the mystery of Christ Himself.

John Kane: Christ’s silent and secret work in your soul: how you can aid Him in His work through the Eucharist Receiving Communion: how to make your communions dynamic encounters with Jesus Christ’s Presence in the Eucharist: how it can nourish your soul even though it’s beyond earthly understanding Two obstacles to gaining spiritual fruit from Communion: how to recognize and overcome them Why it’s so important for you to spend time in thanksgiving after Communion And much more that will help you know Christ in the Eucharist and love Him more than ever! “Easily accessible to all — catechist, convert, priest, and laity.

Download or read book The Way of Mystery written by Dennis Joseph Billy and published by Paulist Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Vatican II documents remind us that the spiritual journey is not made in a vacuum, that God has chosen to save us, not individually, but as The People of God. The Eucharist must help Christians to make their choices by discerning out of Christ's paschal mystery. For this process to take place, however, Christians must first understand how the Eucharist puts them in touch with Christ's passion, death, and resurrection, and what concrete implications being in touch with this mystery has for their daily lives. In The Way Of Mystery, James Keating and Dennis Billy examine the Eucharistic mystery to uncover its significance for Christian life today. They seek to discover what implications the simple act of breaking bread together has for the concrete decisions Christians make. And they point out how, if Christian worship is to enliven the believing community, it must help the faithful to integrate the spiritual and moral dimensions of their lives by leading them to embrace the attitudes and values embraced by Christ. The book is intended for an educated lay audience. It is also idea for adult continuing education classes, as a text for undergraduate courses seeking to integrate faith and the moral life.
