In eucharistic adoration, the faithful spend time in the presence of Christ, who in turn is present to them. In communion services, the faithful unable to participate in the sacrifice of the Mass can still receive its fruit. The Catholic Church wraps both ceremonies inside a larger book called
Holy Communion and Worship of the Eucharistic Mystery Outside Mass. A revised English translation invites a renewed acquaintance with these forms of prayer. Where did they come from? What is their purpose? How are they best celebrated? In
Eucharistic Reservation, Paul Turner explains the new translation of these guidelines and refreshes all those who find delight in the Eucharistic presence of Christ even when Mass is over.
