Preca Publications is publishing another book in Maltese, L-Ewkaristija u l-Ħobż tal-Preżenza (The Eucharist and the Bread of the Presence), written by Mons. Laurence Sciberras. This work explores the rich biblical relationship between the Bread of the Presence in the Old Testament and the Eucharist in the New Testament.
Drawing upon Sacred Scripture and the Church’s tradition, the author highlights the continuity of God’s plan of salvation throughout history. The study reveals how the institutions, symbols and rituals of the Old Covenant find their fulfilment in Jesus Christ and in the sacrament of the Eucharist.
Particular attention is given to the sacred bread placed within the Temple and to its profound typological significance. Through a careful examination of biblical texts, readers are invited to appreciate more deeply the unity of the Old and New Testaments. The book demonstrates how ancient practices continue to shed light on the mystery of Christ’s real presence among us. It also examines the reverence, symbolism and theological significance associated with the Bread of the Presence and its connection with Eucharistic worship.
Inspired by the teachings of the Church and the insights of Scripture, this work seeks to deepen faith in the Eucharistic mystery. Readers will discover how God’s Word consistently points towards Christ, the true Bread from Heaven. Ultimately, this book is an invitation to grow in love for Sacred Scripture and in devotion to the Eucharist, the source and summit of the Christian life.
This book is available from Librerija Preca.
