“From the rising of the sun to its setting my name is great among the nations, and in every place incense is offered to my name, and a pure offering; for my name is great among the nations, says the Lord of hosts.”—Malachi 1:11
One Old Testament passage seized the imagination of the early Church—and directed Christian hearts and minds toward the Eucharist. It was the oracle of Malachi 1:11, and it was cited (like Isaiah’s Suffering Servant oracles) to prove the identity of the Messiah through His Church and His Sacrament.
In The Eucharist Foretold: The Lost Prophecy of Malachi, Mike Aquilina reveals that the Messiah’s true identity—and the identity of the Eucharist—helps us find our identity as “catholic,” and will lead us to discover our roots in the religion of ancient Israel. To the early Christians, Malachi’s oracle defined who they were individually and as a Church.

This an extraordinary book that speaks to the ordinary faith that I grew up with in the pre-Vatican II church in America. So refreshing to see it all spelled out so well and so simply again. I love the extraordinary straightforward truths that change your life and thinking forever. Every catholic should refresh themselves with this and every non-catholic should read it to understand the true mind of the Church from the beginning. It is a great intro into a discussion on the true nature of grace.
Fantastic refresher. Very enlightening.
