Holy Communion is the Bread of Life, the Medicine of Immortality, the eternal pledge of God’s Infinite Love. The whole visible creation is as nothing at all compared to Jesus’ Real Presence among us in His Eucharist, which is truly and substantially His Body and His Blood, united to His Soul and His Divinity. Holy Communion is the Fruit of the Tree…
In 1643, Antoine Arnauld published De la frequente Communion, arguing that the frequent reception of Holy Communion cheapened the Sacrament as so few were in a proper state of Grace to receive the Lord. Arnauld’s book became a centerpiece of the Jansenist movement and the debates around sin, Grace and Holy Communion that would consume…
Holy Communion, after the Incarnation, is the greatest gift that Jesus bestowed upon the faithful and His Mystical Body, the Church. If unity with the Beloved is the fullness and perfection of divine love, then humbly receiving Our Lord in Communion with piety and reverence is the ordinary way to the “ineffable union (that) He…
Charles Peguy (1873-1914): “It will never be known what acts of cowardice have been committed for fear of not looking sufficiently progressive.” Elsewhere, I recently published a piece pleading for the universal reinstatement of the Traditional Latin Mass.

Publisher’s Note: Yesterday, we received an email from His Excellency Bishop Athanasius Schneider. He wrote to ask that we spread his new International Crusade of Eucharistic Reparation, first published at The Remnant, which he launched in response to the many abuses against Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist. This crusade is a direct response to…
Chapter 6 in the Gospel of John is usually the main source cited for the Catholic teaching on the Eucharist: that in the sacrifice of the Mass, bread and wine are transubstantiated into the actual body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ for consumption by the faithful. This is the source and summit of…
In my earlier article “Holy Mass: You Cannot Do Anything to Glorify God More,” I explained that the Mass is not the offering of Christ as if in isolation from us; it is also the offering of the members of Christ united to Him in faith and love. In other words, it is, as St.…
