Living the Eucharist through Sports

by James Penrice

Overview

Athletes sacrifice their body (mind, spirit and will) for the good of someone and something beyond themselves. As people of the Eucharist, Catholic athletes make this sacrifice not only in imitation of Christ, but truly "in him and through him" as branches of his Eucharistic vine. Foreword by Mike Sweeney, President, Catholic Athletes for Christ.
