This volume speaks powerfully to all: laity seeking understanding and forming others in faith, seminarians, religious, priests, and professors alike, bridging the gap between the altar and daily life. In short, this luminous guidance invites us to “carry Him” into the world, igniting hearts and inspiring a lived Christian mission.

In this inspiring book, Dr Antony Lawrence offers profound theological insight into the Eucharist, drawing from its biblical roots, patristic tradition, and historical development. He skilfully connects these foundations with the pastoral and contextual challenges of today, inviting the reader to rediscover the transformative power of the Eucharist. As the source and summit of Christian life, the Eucharist nourishes the faithful, strengthens communities, and sends believers on mission.

Dr Lawrence shows how this sacrament of Christ’s abiding presence speaks powerfully to contemporary realities of hunger, injustice, and division, calling the Church to embody Christ’s self-giving love and work for the transformation of the world.
