Summary:

"St. Thomas Aquinas's theology has served as a touchstone for the Church's magisterial teaching on the Eucharist over the centuries, and the Church gives him an unparalleled position in eucharistic theology and worship. His works appears in the Church's Liturgy of the Hours and Mass Sequence on the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ, and we sing his eucharistic hymns at many other times of celebration and adoration. In St. Thomas, we find the finest expressions of truth, beauty, and love to move our hearts for Christ's presence in the Eucharist. St. Thomas Center for Theological Renewal at Ave Maria University and the Thomistic Institute of the Dominican House of Studies co-sponsored an international conference on 'Thomas Aquinas and the Eucharist: Pathways to Revival' in 2024 during the US Eucharistic Revival and the 750th anniversary year of St. Thomas Aquinas's passing from this earth. This conference volume offers original contributions on Thomas Aquinas and the Eucharist with focus on Sacred Scripture, sacramental signification, Transubstantiation, sacrifice, and much more."--from the back cover.
