Series V – On the Blessed Sacrament for the Year of Eucharistic Revival
In this fifth series, we dedicate all of our considerations to deepening our love and understanding of the Blessed Sacrament. In tandem with the broader Church’s celebration of the Year of Eucharistic Revival, we will consider the Eucharist in terms of Scripture, theology, history, and art.
