Dominus Est: It is the Lord by The Most Reverend Athanasius Schneider

This book was sent to every Bishop in the United States and Canada. It is a must-read on the Source and Summit of our faith: The Holy Eucharist. Holy Communion is not simply a convivial moment of spiritual nourishment; it is the most presonal encounter possible in this life between the faithful Christian and his Lord and God. The best interior attitude for this encounter is one of receptivity, humility, and spiritual childhood. Such an attitude, by its very nature, is expressed through gestures of adoration and reverence. We have eloquent witnesses to this truth from the tradition of the Church, summarized by the sayings cum amore ac timore (with love and fear) from the first millenium and quantum potes, tantum aude (dare to do as much as you can) from the second. To illustrate how this attitude manifests itself, the author shares stories of three "Eucharistic women" known to him from the Soviet Underground. This book encourages Catholics of the third millenium to treat the Lord, in the august moment of Holy Communion, in a manner appropriate to the Church's tradition. "I have read the whole book with delight. It is excellent."- Francis Cardinal Arinze, Prefect, Congregation for Divine Workship
