One Old Testament passage seized the imagination of the early Church - and directed Christian hearts and minds toward the Eucharist. It was the oracle of Malachi 1:11, and it was cited (like Isaiah’s Suffering Servant oracles) to prove the identity of the Messiah through his church and his sacrament. In The Eucharist Foretold: The Lost Prophecy of Malachi, Mike Aquilina reveals that the Messiah’s true identity - and the identity of the Eucharist - helps us find our identity as “Catholic”, and will lead us to discover our roots in the religion of ancient Israel.

Our human hearts were made to love and to be loved, to give and receive love. Every beat of every heart is made possible through a god who is love. But did you also know that the very heart of God beats just for you? That is what Jesus said when he spoke to St. Margaret Mary Alocoque, Apostle of the Heart of Jesus, and revealed his enflamed heart to her. The revelation of his heart is what we have come to know as the Sacred Heart of Jesus, one of the most recognizable images and symbols of our Catholic faith—but one of the least understood devotions of our day.
