Sacrament Most Holy - 5094

“O Sacrament most holy, O Sacrament divine, all praise and all thanksgiving be every moment thine.” This traditional phrase of devotion perfectly expresses Monsignor Ronald Knox’s devotion to the Holy Eucharist. In the words of Philip Caraman, S.J., “the Eucharist was the central, inexhaustible and unifying mystery of his priestly life” and the holy Sacrifice of the Mass was “not merely the central act of his own life, but the unifying mystery of the people of God.” And this because, in that Sacrifice, the very body and blood of Jesus Christ are made present in their substance and Christ offers himself as our true food and true drink, unto eternal life. It is truly right and just, in response to such an awesome gift, to render in return a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to its Giver. And just such a sacrifice did Monsignor Knox offer in his preaching. Sacrament Most Holy collects in a single volume those thirty-one sermons specifically on the Holy Eucharist (and only previously published separately in Heaven and Charing Cross, The Window in the Wall, and Pastoral Sermons). Each of these thirty-one sermons, without exception, brings home the mystery of the Blessed Sacrament with authority, thanksgiving, and unmistakable joy.
