Bishop Robert Barron offers inspiring insights into the mystery of Christ's presence in our lives. So many believers do not understand the mystery of the Eucharist, which Vatican II said is the “source and summit of the Christian life.” This fresh look at the Eucharist brings to light its reality as sacred meal, the sacrifice necessary for communion with God and the real presence of Christ.
"Truly a spirituality for the 21st century!"
--Dolores Leckey, Woodstock theological Center
"What a fantastic job you did. I know that the book itself was written for a universal audience, but please know that my own audience is only women and the insights I grasped via your book were all along the lines of how we might live those beautiful truths."
--Genevieve Kineke, Catholic Exchange

Study individually or in a Group
You can watch the Eucharist DVD and then probe more deeply into Bishop Barron’s message by using the companion Study Guide, which is divided into sections that correspond to each part of Bishop Barron's presentation. The Study Guide was written by Word on Fire staff members who hold Theology degrees, Rozann Lee and Robert Mixa, under the direction and approval of Bishop Barron.
Each section provides “Questions for Understanding" based on the DVD presentation and references from Scripture and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and “Questions for Reflection" that help you reflect on how the material is relevant to your own life and experience.
For group study, you can present the program in six 90-minute sessions. Each session includes DVD viewing and small group discussion of Study Guide questions. Participants should prepare the questions on their own after viewing the DVD but before the small group discussion.
The Leader’s Kit provides essential resources for lay discussion leaders, including the DVD, lessons, facilitator guide, answer key and the companion book by Bishop Barron, Eucharist. In addition, leaders can access free, downloadable promotional materials and other tools using the “Support Materials” tab above..
