Visits to the Blessed Sacrament and Forty Hours Devotion are spiritual practices that were almost lost to an entire generation of Catholics.  But, today, devotion to the Eucharist has regained its popularity as a pathway to a deep and intimate union with the Lord.  A new generation of believers is longing for the richness of this tradition and the blessings attendant upon it.

Eucharistic Devotion reintroduces today's Catholics to a time-honored spiritual tradition.  Beginning with a history of eucharistic devotion and its development, especially in times of stress and trouble, this book presents the Eucharist as the center and summit of Christian life.  A discussion of the meaning of Christ's presence in the Eucharist and an explanation of how the Church has alwasy fostered eucharistic devotion adds a new perspective to those who may be unfamiliar with this long-standing traditional practice.  Next, the primary elements of the Eucharistic Memorial are presented and explained.  The final section of the book presents a collection of prayers and formats for private visits to the Blessed Sacrament.
