In "Divine Love Made Flesh," Cardinal Raymond Burke presents a commentary on papal writings about the Eucharist showing his "profound love" for the Sacrament, the book's collaborator says.
"The goal was to help people understand – in today's world, with such a waning faith and understanding of the Holy Eucharist – to give some explanation and help break that down for the faithful," Thomas McKenna, founder of the book's publisher Catholic Action for Faith and Family, told CNA.
The book is a commentary by the prefect of the Apostolic Signatura, the Church's highest court, on Blessed John Paul II's 2003 encyclical "Ecclesia de Eucharistia" and Benedict XVI's 2007 apostolic exhortation "Sacramentum Caritatis."
Cardinal Burke wrote in the book's conclusion that "it is my fervent prayer that the reflections on Ecclesia de Eucharistia and Sacramentum Caritatis contained in these pages will lead the reader to an ever deeper and more ardent knowledge and love of our Eucharistic Lord."
