God and Us

St. Paul Editions

He said..., So, could you not watch with me one hour? (Mt 26:40). For centuries, Catholics have answered Christ's plea by placing themselves before His presence in the Blessed Sacrament. Now, for the first time, the theological, historical, and psychological reasons for Eucharistic devotion are revealed. Unlike books that merely present the technical aspects of setting up Eucharistic devotion in a chapel or parish, In the Presence of Our Lord: The History, Theology, and Psychology of Eucharistic Devotion focuses on how the Blessed Sacrament has been a source of comfort and faith for countless Christians. A book that will inspire as well as educate and inform, In the Presence of Our Lord is an invaluable guide for all who would keep watch with Christ. I believe that the authors of this fine work have made a penetrating reflection on the great gift of the Eucharist and the history of adoration with which the Church has responded to such a gift. It has tremendous possibilities as an aid in preaching on the Eucharist and untold probabilities concerning the deepening of one's faith in the Lord's presence in this great gift. -Most Reverend Harry J. Flynn, D.D., Archbishop of Saint Paul and Minneapolis About the Authors:World renowned lecturer and retreat master Father Benedict J.

In the Presence of Our Lord

Franciscan University Press

Time after time ... 
We say, "If only I had lived when Jesus walked on earth, I would have followed Him day after day. I would have been His disciple, ready to serve Him in any way I could."
We listen to Our Lord's words that "I was hungry ... I was thirsty ... I was a stranger ... I was naked ... I was sick ... I was in prison ..."
We fail to pay attention when He tells us, "You gave me food ... You gave me drink ... You welcomed me ... You clothed me ... You visited me ... You came to me ..."
Jesus offers us the opportunity to follow Him day after day and serve Him by serving those in need. But just as Christ "hides" in the Eucharist under the appearance of bread and wine, it's easy to overlook Him -- to ignore Him -- in those who are hurting.
Based on Matthew 25:31-46, the meditations in When Did We See You, Lord? can help give us new ears, to truly hear Christ inviting us to serve Him. And new eyes, to truly see Christ waiting for us in those needing help.

And, responding to questions posed by noted British journalist John Bishop in an interview before the accident, Fr. Benedict reflects on: - Founding the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal - Spending time in jail for civil disobedience outside an abortion clinic - Recognizing where God is when suffering intensifies and evil prospers - Understanding Christ's feeling of abandonment on the cross - Discovering and living one's vocation - Loving the poor wholeheartedly - Being "gently scolded" by Mother Teresa of Calcutta - And more.
