Description: Referring to the Eucharist, St John Paul II, stated that “there can be no danger of excess in our care for this mystery.” The Eucharist, as the most perfect sacrament, is fitting of our greatest devotion. To explore devotion and the Eucharist, this course outlines specific Catholic practices that cultivate love and due honour for the Blessed Sacrament. For this purpose, we will discuss devotion both on the personal disposition level and the external forms of it that evoke the grandeur of the Eucharist.
Presenter: Friar Benjamin Johnson is a Capuchin Franciscan of the Province of Australia. In 2022 he completed his doctorate at the Pontifical Lateran University in Rome on the relationship between the sacraments of the Eucharist and Marriage in the thought of Saint Bonaventure of Bagnoregio. His research interests include the relationship between Franciscan theology and Christian experience, and scholastic sacramental theology. Br Ben lectures in sacramental theology at the University of Notre Dame, Australia.
