an easy-to-use study guide of
Ecclesia de Eucharistia
(The Church of the Eucharist)

My Soul Shall Be HealedTerry 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.

The US Bishops have said it’s time “to present a clear understanding of the Church’s teachings to bring heightened awareness among the faithful of how the Eucharist can transform our lives and bring us closer to our creator and the life he wants for us.” Terry Modica’s book, My Soul Shall be Healed, fulfills that calling.

My Soul Shall Be Healed explains in ordinary language how to understand Ecclesia de Eucharistia. You’ll be able to apply it to your every-day life in today’s world. 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. And you’ll gain a deep appreciation for the reason why only Catholic priests can consecrate the communion elements alongside the important role you have, with the whole community, in the Eucharistic celebration.

 

Be blessed by a 5-part video course and discussion on this encyclical using this book for a guide.
