30 Day Eucharistic Revival: A Retreat with St. Peter Julian Eymard

Several popes have referred to St. Peter Julian Eymard (1811-1868) as "the Apostle of the Eucharist." Nonetheless, he is not that well known in the universal Church. When it comes to worldwide recognition of his extraordinary life, as well as the many amazing things he did to foster a greater love for the Blessed Sacrament, most Catholics are unfamiliar with him and have never heard his name. That is about to change.

Saint Peter Julian Eymard lived in an era that was plagued by lack of belief in the Real Presence and outright indifference to this core teaching of Christianity - sound familiar? "I fear that people are wandering too far from the Holy Eucharist, that this mystery of love par excellence is not sufficiently proclaimed. So souls are suffering, becoming more sensual and materialistic in their devotional life and inordinately attached to human beings. It is because they don't know how to find their consolation and strength in our Lord," he wrote.

30 Day Eucharistic Revival is intended to help you, your children, your grandchildren, and all future generations rediscover and experience a revival of belief in the Real Presence.

Just as he did for the Year of St. Joseph, Fr. Calloway has provided a useful and practical tool to make the National Eucharistic Revival pastoral initiative a moment of grace and conversion. Taking advantage of the writings of St. Peter Julian Eymard, a great proponent of the beauty and power of the Eucharist, Fr. Calloway offers a month of daily meditations that will inspire and strengthen the reader’s love for the Real Presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.

As a new convert to the Catholic faith in my university years, St. Peter Julian Eymard was one of the first authors I read on the Holy Eucharist. I was immediately struck by his clarity, love, and insights on the mystery of the Holy Eucharist. 30 Day Eucharistic Revival is extremely timely. I can think of no better way for a parish to enter more deeply into the Eucharistic Revival than by making this retreat together. Father Calloway’s books always resonate with the faithful, and I’m convinced this book will be the same. This retreat has the capacity to transform a whole parish, and I strongly endorse it.

30 Day Eucharistic Revival is a wonderful book that will help people fall in love with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. I’m certain that my son would love this book and want people, especially young people, to read it and experience a Eucharistic revival.
