Questo breve ed agile saggio è un piccolo gioiello da leggere e meditare per due motivi.
Innanzitutto perchè fa comprendere, con alcuni riferimenti biografici legati all'infanzia dell'autore vissuta sotto la dominazione comunista nel Kirghizistan, cosa significa avere amore e timore dell'Eucarestia.
In secondo luogo perchè ripercorre in modo organico lo sviluppo della pietà eucaristica dei Padri della Chiesa nella tradizione orientale e occidentale con diversi riferimenti bibliografici. ( )

Dominus Est—It Is the Lord! is a very short, but important piece about the importance of holy communion. Schneider, a bishop in Kazakhstan whose family was deported by the Soviets from the Volga region to Central Asia, begins by relating the remarkable effort people went to just to be near a host, much less a priest, in the days when everything religious was forbidden. The rest of the book builds on this theme to discuss just important the Eucharist is to the Catholic faith. He places particular emphasis on receiving on the tongue while kneeling, a former norm that has long since fallen out of practice in many parts of the Catholic world. For anyone interested in the Catholic Church and the Eucharist, highly recommended. ( )

I can not express how awesome this little book is... slams the reality of how much we need to reverence the great gift of the Eucharist right into your heart. It's inspiring to read about the struggles that people have gone through to express their love and belief in the Real Presence of Jesus. ( )
