God is Near Us: The Eucharist, The Heart of Life by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI)

Cardinal Ratzinger compellingly shows us the biblical, historical, and theological dimensions of the Eucharist. From these he draws far reaching conclusions, focusing on the importance of personal devotion both for the individual and for the life of the Church. For Ratzinger, any transformation of the world on the social plane grows out of the Eucharist. A beautiful book from the eminent cardinal who was closely involved in the preparation of the Pope's recent document on the Eucharist, Ecclesia de Eucharistia
