The bestselling author of ‘Seeking Spirituality’ presents his first book about one of the most important aspects of faith for hundreds of millions of Christians, the Eucharist.
More so than anything else, the Eucharist is what anchors many people’s lives, prayers, and ultimately the way they look upon the world around them. In this deeply personal book, Ronald Rolheiser delves into the history and meaning of this sacred tradition, drawing upon the insights of various scripture scholars, theologians and church teachings. With warmth and great insight, he reflects on his own particular Roman Catholic upbringing and the centrality that the Eucharist has within that tradition. At the same time he looks at other denominations’ traditions around the Eucharist.
‘Our One Great Act of Fidelity’ is an investigation into the way people secure their faith and belief and discover true intimacy with God and one another. The perspective he shares in this book results in a unique reflection upon the sacrament, showing how so many people around the world and Rolheiser himself understand the Eucharist and why they celebrate it every day.
Ronald Rolheiser is a specialist in the field of spirituality and is currently President of the Oblate School of Theology in San Antonio, Texas. Father Rolheiser is the author of The Holy Longing, The Restless Heart, Forgotten Among the Lilies, The Shattered Lantern, and Against an Infinite Horizon. He writes a weekly column that appears in more than 90 Catholic publications. More information on his work can be found at RonRolheiser.com.
