Book 4 of the Words for Life series is a beautiful presentation of the Eucharistic Letter, written by Jean-Pierre Medaille SJ in 1660. Through the reading and study of Book 4 I have come to realize the deep love and reverence this saintly Priest had for the Holy Eucharist., and how we can apply his words in our own lives. Sister Rosemary has brought the Eucharistic Letter alive, and she has captured the "heart and soul" of Father Medaille's writing.
This Letter is a fountain of love, wisdom, and deep spirituality, not only for those in Religious Life, but for everyone seeking a contemplative, prayerful way of life.

Book 4 of the Words For Life series is a must read for spiritual seekers; what a treasure! I have found that as I reread sections of the Book 4, I gain more understanding and wisdom from its pages. Fr. Jean Pierre Medaille’s Eucharistic letter invites us to a way of life whereby we grow in our love of Divine Love and through self-emptying we let that Love love through us. There is a double union as we grow in our love of Divine Mystery and love of the dear neighbour and in turn, they grow in love for each other. This message, this way of being and living life to the full is for all humanity. We are on the precipice of a new beginning; the world needs to work together as one.
This Book 4 prepares one for new beginnings in our relationship with the Divine and with each other. There is an invitation in the Eucharistic Letter to join the Circle of Love; may this message reach the corners of the Earth. Sr. Rosemary O’Toole shares her life work with us so openly and invites us to share it with others. She has included many beautiful pieces of art in her books.
Thank you, Sr. Rosemary, for the Words For Life Book Series especially Book Four.
Peace

In this last book of the series, Sr. Rosemary O'Toole brings the focus of Medaille's teachings onto the Mystery of the Eucharist, specifically, his Eucharistic Letter. The Eucharistic Letter - together with Sr. Rosemary's accompanying analysis and commentary - reveals the transforming power found in the Holy Eucharist .... instructing us on how the Eucharist can "effect in me a miracle of love."
Although Book 4 stands alone in its contemplative wisdom, it is best studied alongside all three companion volumes. Each book in this Words for Life series brings us a renewed awareness - teaching us that ... what we communicate and share in life ... is LOVE. Living a way of love is the essence of Medaille's spirituality: "Love Love and let Love love through you."
I have found this Words for Life collection immensely enriching and transforming. Centuries ago, Fr. Medaille understood and shared the heart of "Christ Consciousness." Although it has taken over 400 years to resurface, today is truly the "right moment" for its rediscovery ... and reintroduction. I encourage you to explore the "revelation of J.P. Medaille". Allow his teachings to enrich and transform you. Allow his mysticism of love to be a "Divine Therapy" for your life.
I recently completed a group study of all 4 books of the Words for Life Spirituality Series. As with the previous three books, Book 4 continues to explore and examine the mystical writings of Fr. Jean-Pierre Medaille.
