You are very kind. Regarding reading material, anything by G.K. Chesterton or John Henry Cardinal Newman would be efficacious. But, make the adoration chapel your reading room. As they say in real estate: location, location, location!

a couple other good authors are fr… Michael gaitley and Mathew kelly
 
Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist, by Brant Pitre is one I would recommend.

Catholicism didn’t just suddenly appear in time and history. The book will put the Eucharist (and the Mass) in context of salvation history, as givn by the Old Testament.

And he is understandable.

Someone suggested the Catechism of the Catholic Church. I would not suggest starting there as you will soon get in over your head. However, Michael Pennock, in This is Our Faith provides commentary on the paragraphs of the Catechism in an easy to understand format. The subtitle is A Catholic Catechism For Adults.

Thank you again will look into their writings.

Thank you: Catechism can be pretty dry - although very necessary - reading. Thank you for the suggestion!

You know, I did read most of it several years ago and it did give a good basic understanding of the CC’s beginnings, beliefs and some of their practices. I’ve ordered several of the “smaller” less technical books suggested to me. But i just mite go back and order/reread Catholicism for Dummies: not truly THEOlogical but very logical. Thanks!!

I would recommend reading about the Early Church and the Church Fathers. I don’t have a specific book in mind as I can’t remember, sorry.
