The U.S. Catholic Church's three-year eucharistic revival is underway. This is a good time to explore the Franciscan perspective on the Eucharist. June 19, 2022, the Feast of Corpus Christi marked the beginning of the Eucharistic Revival. Learn more by visiting the website of the National Eucharistic Revival.
As you would expect, different people who admire Francis have different perspectives. Fr. Pat McCloskey, OFM reminds us that St. Francis' views of the Eucharist were shaped by the Fourth Lateran Council. I liked this one by Fr. George Corrigan, OFM in Francis and the Eucharist. Christopher Heffron in Saint Francis and the Eucharist, notes that for Francis the Eucharist was the foundation on which his faith life was built. Louise Merrie’s St. Francis of Assisi: Lover of the Eucharist has some thought-provoking insights, too.
