Terry Modica’s study guide about Pope Saint John Paul II’s wonderful encyclical, Ecclesia de Eucharistia, enables readers and group participants to enter more fully into the mystery of the Eucharist and deepen their intimacy with Christ while enriching their celebration of Holy Mass.
“When Terry wrote this book, she based it on the Ecclesia de Eucharistia encyclical of Pope John Paul II. Many encyclicals are hard to fathom because we really need more clarity. We need to know the context in which the pope is talking.
“We have to understand what the Eucharist is in relationship to the Church. John Paul II actually talks about this in detail so we don’t wonder about it. He confirms some of the things we already know: that the Eucharist can heal, that it’s the real presence of God. Terry explains more about it.
“I’m excited to recommend this book because the way she wrote it, it is so simple – a complex issue, a complex matter: she was able to simplify it so all you have to do is have a copy. At least you should have one copy for your household and one to give to a priest.

You’ll discover how to develop a more personal relationship with Jesus in the Eucharist. You’ll learn why Catholicism teaches that the Eucharist is the “source and summit of the Christian life”. You’ll find out – with clarity — what Catholics believe and do not believe about the Eucharist.

About the Author:
Terry Modica first taught this as a course in St. John the Baptist Major Seminary, Malawi, in 2001, for the seminarians, professors, and diocesan catechists. She then reproduced it as an online course in 2003 and later converted it into a study guide.
Terry Modica converted to Catholicism in 1977, drawn by the Eucharist. At that time, she began to study official Church teachings in order to understand and dig deep into her new faith. Always involved in her parishes, she gained a reputation for inspirational teaching and spiritual leadership in Adult Religious Education, prayer groups, Parish Council, and as diocesan staff writer. She has a degree in Theology, and has been certified by the Diocese of Trenton, NJ, for Pastoral Administration, and is a certified graduate of the Lay Pastoral Ministry Institute of the Diocese of St. Petersburg, Florida.
She is co-founder and Executive Director of Good New Ministries, the author of the popular daily Good News Reflections and has been teaching courses and seminars on the Catholic Catechism and Church documents since 1994.
