Were Not Our Hearts Burning?

In Were Not Our Hearts Burning?, author Benini offers a profound and accessible reflection on the Eucharist as both liturgical celebration and daily encounter with Christ. Beginning with Pope Francis's apostolic letter Desiderio Desideravi, and building on the theological insights of Romano Guardini, Benini walks readers through each element of the Eucharistic liturgy—unpacking its biblical foundations, symbolic richness, and spiritual significance.

Far more than a theological overview, this book is a pastoral and personal invitation to rediscover the beauty of the Mass and to allow its grace to shape every aspect of life. Whether you're a parishioner seeking deeper participation, a catechist, or a spiritual seeker, Were Not Our Hearts Burning? offers a fresh and thoughtful way to encounter Christ in the breaking of the bread—and beyond.
