The Blessed Sacrament and the Mass
In this concise volume are all the sections of the Summa in which St. Thomas explains the Church’s understanding of the Holy Eucharist and the Mass. For example, St Thomas explains why the Holy Eucharist is necessary for salvation, but not in the same way that Baptism is, why reception of the Holy Eucharist does not cause forgiveness in one who is conscious of mortal sin, how reception of the Blessed Sacrament preserves you from future sins, what St. Paul meant when he warned believers not to eat and drink unworthily, the circumstances in which a priest should deny the Body of Christ to a sinner who seeks it, why it is so profitable to the soul to receive the Blessed Sacrament daily, why reverence for the Body of Christ demands that no one but the priest touch the Sacrament.
