Divine Love Made Flesh: The Holy Eucharist as the Sacrament of Charity
is a masterfully written reflection on the Eucharist as source and summit of
God’s love and the focal point of every disciple of Jesus Christ.
Honestly, I love any book that inspires me to draw closer to the Lord just by reading it. This one serves that purpose very well. Divine Love Made Flesh is definitely a work that describes the Sacrament of the Eucharist in a way that makes it clear that the Passion and Death of our Lord was/is the most loving, perfect sacrifice. The work of redemption takes place in the present each time Mass is celebrated, because the True Presence, Christ’s Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity exist in time and space for us to consume and be transformed by.
Through incorporation and explanation of the teachings on the Eucharist given to us by Blessed Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI, His Eminence Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke guides the reader to a greater understanding of the necessity of the Sacraments, the most central of which is the Holy Eucharist.

Reading this book has
motivated me to find and read the original papal documents the author used
(translated into English since my Latin is very limited) in creating this
beautiful treatise on the significance of the Eucharist, the prominence it
ought to have in the life of each Christian, and the ways in which we are to
become Christ for one another through our participation in the Heavenly Feast.
