Editorial Reviews

"Divine Love Made Fresh is a masterpiece and yet one does not need a degree in Sacred Theology in order to read, comprehend and appreciate this magnificent book."

Rev.. Fr. John Trigilio, Jr., PhD, ThD

“Divine Love Made Flesh, written by a true prince of the Church, spells out the truth and beauty of the Church’s Eucharistic doctrine in the light and logic of divine love…it truly deserves to be a classic.”

Dr. Scott Hahn

"It is sad but true that devotion to the Holy Eucharist has greatly diminished among many contemporary Catholics, and with it an understanding of the importance of the Eucharist has diminished as well. In Divine Love Made Flesh Cardinal Burke provides the reader with a clear yet profound understanding of the great sacrament that is the “source and summit” of our faith."

Father Benedict J. Groeschel, CFR

"This small book is a love story, shared from the heart of a man who exemplifies devotion to Christ in the Eucharist in a way few American prelates have ever exhibited. Cardinal Burke helps us plumb the depths of the truth as it relates to the Eucharist in a way that I would never have imagined possible."

Judy Brown

"With [the two encyclicals from] Blessed John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI, Cardinal Burke puts the Holy Eucharist, the sacrament of divine charity, at the center of that global effort to bring the divine love into a broken world."

George Weigel
