In the words of Philip Caraman, S.J., “the Eucharist was the central, inexhaustible and unifying mystery of his priestly life” and the holy Sacrifice of the Mass was “not merely the central act of his own life, but the unifying mystery of the people of God.” And this because, in that Sacrifice, the very body and blood of Jesus Christ are made present in their substance and Christ offers himself as our true food and true drink, unto eternal life. It is truly right and just, in response to such an awesome gift, to render in return a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to its Giver.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eIn the sacrament of Holy Eucharist, although it would far exceed all our deserts if he only gave himself to be our food, our Lord will redouble his condescension by remaining with us, to be adored in the monstrance or in the tabernacle; he is not content to satisfy our hunger, he spoils us with the crumbs of his grace. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e(Ronald Knox)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eAnd just such a sacrifice did Monsignor Knox offer in his preaching. \u003ci\u003eSacrament Most Holy \u003c\/i\u003ecollects in a single volume those thirty-one sermons specifically on the Holy Eucharist (and only previously published separately in \u003ci\u003eHeaven and Charing Cross\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Window in the Wall\u003c\/i\u003e, and\u003ci\u003e Pastoral Sermons\u003c\/i\u003e).
