On August 13th, 2023, I released my 1st book during my final Sunday at Corpus Christi Parish in Vancouver, BC.
9 Days to Corpus Christi: A Total Consecration to Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament
This book is the 1st ever consecration program to Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament.
Throughout the book, you will be accompanied by 6 of the greatest Eucharistic saints in Church history.
The Novena
- The 1st part of the book, which encompasses nine days of reflections (a “novena”), focuses on cultivating your interior life of Eucharistic devotion, with the help of St. Therese of Lisieux, St. Augustine, and St. Faustina.
The Octave
- The 2nd part of the book, which begins on your consecration and includes eight days of reflections (an “octave”), focuses on promoting your exterior life of Eucharistic devotion, with the help of Bl. Carlo Acutis, St. Teresa of Calcutta, and Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati.
Reviews of the Book
“A book of this kind is long overdue. The Eucharist is our greatest treasure and now we have a method of consecrating ourselves to the very “source and summit” of our Faith! The consecration is easy to follow, the saintly guides are inspiring, and the goal of this program is that you become a Eucharistic saint. A truly anointed book!” – Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC, Author, Consecration to St. Joseph
“As Fr. Rich states, as wonderful as it is that we have had books on consecration to Mary and St. Joseph, how is it we don’t have a book to help us consecrate ourselves to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament? 9 Days to Corpus Christi is a wonderfully rich and easily accessible book that fills this hole. Combining touching examples from his own life experience and the wisdom of the saints, Fr. Rich offers us an imminently practical guide for examining our relationship with Jesus in the Eucharist, better encountering Him in this wondrous gift, and finally bringing His love into a world that is increasingly desperate for Him, even if it doesn’t know it.” – Fr. John Riccardo, Executive Director, ACTS XXIX
“Father Conlin’s book will serve as a beautiful aid for fostering Eucharistic devotion and encouraging the reader to strive to become ‘a Eucharistic saint.'” – Most Rev. J. Michael Miller, CSB, Archbishop of Vancouver
Many of us would like to know and experience Jesus in the Eucharist more deeply, but don’t know where to start. Fr. Rich Conlin has given us this beautiful and practical book for deepening our encounter with the Eucharistic Christ. Perfect spiritual reading for Corpus Christi, Holy Thursday, or any time of the Church year!” – Dr. John Bergsma, Professor of Theology at the Franciscan University of Steubenville, Author, Jesus and the Dead Sea Scrolls
“Fr. Rich skillfully weaves timeless truths about Our Eucharistic Lord with contemporary cultural tie-ins and lessons from the lives of the saints. He also manifests an admirable openness about his own life, providing an edifying example for readers to emulate in encountering Jesus deeply in the Eucharist. May God bless his efforts abundantly!” – Tom Nash, Catholic Answers Apologist, Author, The Biblical Roots of the Mass
