The Bread of Life, or, St. Thomas Aquinas on the Adorable Sacrament of the Altar is unavailable, but you can change that!

Divided into seven parts, The Bread of Life consists of thirty meditations on the Blessed Sacrament. Rawes has translated the original Latin into English and provided summaries for each meditation in the table of contents.

B. (3) Having, in the last Meditation, considered two points about receiving our Lord’s Blood, we have now to consider the usefulness or effect of that Blood, as taken by the faithful in the Holy Sacrament. To understand this, we must bear in mind that the Blood of Jesus thus received may be looked at in three lights: 1, as a draught of living water; 2, as the wine of the Spirit; 3, as the most holy mystery of the Church.
