Description
This book is relevant to every Catholic who is looking to live the life of the Gospel. Living the beatitudes will deepen the understanding of what it means to be a eucharistic people. The Royal Road to Joy: The Beatitudes and the Eucharist tells us how the living of the beatitudes is not only relevant, but actually helps in a deeper understanding of what is celebrated at the altar. This book examines the profound process of Christian conversion in which our basic attitudes are radically changed toward ourselves, toward what happens to us, toward other people, and finally toward God. This is the road to joy we find in the beatitudes. In this deeply spiritual text, Dom David Bird presents two interrelated commentaries -- one on the eight beatitudes, the other on the Mass -- that make clear the intimate connection between the spirituality of the beatitudes and the eucharistic celebration.
