The Eucharist and the Confessional: Sources of Living Water

Author: F. D. Joret, O.P.

First published in English in 1955, The Eucharist and the Confessional offers clear and refreshing instruction on the workings of grace in these two vitally important sacraments, with lessons from St. Thomas Aquinas, the lives of the saints, and Sacred Scripture. “This is Christianity,” Joret declares: “To cleave to our Lord in order to live by him.” The sacraments bring this about—which is to say, holy communions and honest confessions cleave us to Christ.
