I’d like to know what you think is the best book(s) on the Mass and the Eucharist that you have read.
 
There are so many!

But I’ll contribute:

A Key to the Doctrine of the Eucharist by Fr. Vonier

The Hidden Manna by Fr. O’Connor

VC
 
You will find that the books written by Pope Benedict XVI are, by far,in my opinion, the best collection of writings on the Eucharist and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Here they are:

The Spirit of the Liturgy
A New Song for the Lord
Feast of Faith
God is Near

In fact, early next year, the Vatican is going to release a complete anthology of all of his writings. The first book will be devoted to what he has written on the Liturgy.
 
This “Best Book” is an eye opener for anyone, any faith.

In the Presence of Our Lord, the History, Theology, and Psychology of Eucharistic Devotion
by Father Benedict J. Groeschel, C.F.R., and James Monti.
Our Sunday Visitor Publishing Division 1997
ISBN 0-87973-920-7

This is book is not a fast read.

Its pages make you pause, think, enjoy, grow in wonder. Its history begins at the beginning as James Monti quotes John Chapter 6 and then takes one century by century to the present. Its pages will bring back one’s own childhood memories as Father Groechel recalls his childhood view of the mystery of the Eucharist when he was about four years old. In each chapter are amazing Insights and facts. Then there are the pages which will call one to stop reading and pray with heartfelt thanksgiving for the greatest gift possible, Jesus, Himself, truly present within our humble reach.

If one would like to read a good pastoral letter on line, use these links.

I second this. Feast of Faith really opened my eyes in a new way to the awesomeness of the Eucharist. I just can’t say enough how the Pope gave me a new, more reverent, and more awe inspired view of the Eucharist.

Peace and good!
