A Journey to the Heart of Divine Love
What if the ordinary bread and wine of Mass contained the greatest mystery in the universe?
In an age when faith feels distant and the sacred seems lost, MANNA: Concise Eucharistic Spirituality unveils the transformative power hidden in plain sight on every Catholic altar. From the ancient manna that sustained Israel in the wilderness to the Bread of Life that nourishes souls today, this profound exploration reveals how the Eucharist remains God's most intimate gift to humanity.
Through the mystical insights of Carmelite saints, the heroic witness of martyrs who died protecting scattered Hosts, and the quiet transformation occurring in countless hearts, Fr. Peter Canisius Otieno guides readers into the depths of Eucharistic wonder. Discover why a Chinese girl-martyr risked everything for thirty-two consecrated wafers, how simple adoration sparked spiritual revival in forgotten French villages, and why this ancient sacrament holds the key to healing our fragmented world.
More than theological treatise, this is an invitation to rediscover the miracle hidden in every Mass, where infinite love clothes itself in bread and wine, waiting to transform ordinary lives into extraordinary witnesses.
“The Eucharist is not merely one devotion among many but the beating heart of Christian existence, the daily miracle where heaven touches earth.”
