New Book on the Holy Eucharist by Cardinal Raymond Burke to be released on June 7, Feast of Corpus Christ

San Diego, May 31, 2012 — Today Catholic Action for Faith and Family announces the much anticipated release of Cardinal Raymond Burke’s book, Divine Love Made Flesh: The Holy Eucharist as the Sacrament of Charity.

“It is a great honor to publish Cardinal Burke’s book,” said Thomas McKenna, a longtime friend to Cardinal Burke and President of Catholic Action for Faith and Family (the book’s publisher.) “We have chosen June 7, 2012, the Feast of Corpus Christi, for the timely release of this profound and inspiring new book on the Holy Eucharist,” he added.

Divine Love Made Flesh comes at a time when Catholics have had a renewed hunger for greater understanding of their faith. The inspiring book examines the beauty and power of the Holy Eucharist in light of the profound teachings of Blessed Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI. Using clear and illuminating language, Cardinal Burke guides the reader through the teaching of the Church on this Most Holy Sacrament and Its place in the life of every disciple of Jesus Christ. The book is a spiritual treatise on the central Mystery of our Faith and links the rich theology of the Church with pastoral practice and the spiritual life. “Cardinal Burke’s ability to reach boththe layman and religious, in simple yet inspiring language, will surely engender love for the Holy Eucharist in the hearts of those who read this book,” stated Mr. McKenna.

It is anticipated to be a great tool of catechesis in schools and parishes.

Early reviews are raising a fever-pitch expectation for this new book which comes from one of the highest ranking Cardinals in the Catholic Church and will coincide with the celebration of the ‘Year of Faith’ announced by Our Holy Father. Here’s what the critics are saying:
