I Thirst For Your Love!

[What follows is the Introduction to my recently released book, I Thirst for Your Love. The book includes contributions from Dom Mark Daniel Kirby, O.S.B. Copies can be purchased here and here .] The time for mincing words is over.  The most significant crisis in the Catholic Church today, from which all the other problems we are experiencing flow, is the fact that an overwhelming majority of those identifying themselves as Catholic, no longer believe that our Lord Jesus Christ is really, truly and substantially present Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Blessed Sacrament!

(From Daily Gospel Reflection on Dynamic Catholic for July 22, 2025)   Father Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange, O.P. “In the Sacrament of Love, the Sacred Heart expresses to us Its thirst for our souls. Every day He offers Himself to us as food, to sanctify us more and more and to assimilate us to Himself…He asks us for our love as if he had need of us, whereas it we who can do nothing without Him.” (From Zeal for the Kingdom of God )   St. Thomas Aquinas   “The Lord’s prayer ...
