"The United States Catholic bishops have committed themselves to a multi-year eucharistic revival, crowned by a National Eucharistic Congress 17-21 July 2024. Edward Foley’s Eucharistic Adoration after Vatican II provides a magnificent background and accompaniment to this program, indeed for any process intended to deepen eucharistic spirituality for the future. Marked by impressive tracing of the complex historical trajectories of eucharistic practice and devotions; a welcome account of the theological principles emerging from this history in the context of the reformed post-Vatican II Order of Mass; a sketch of an 'accessibly lived' eucharistic spirituality; and an outline of key principles and guidelines for renewed eucharistic liturgy and devotions, this short volume is the best guide I can think of for this initiative. I pray that everyone involved—laity, bishops, priests, deacons, catechists, members of religious communities, seminarians and novices—would make Foley’s accessible monograph required reading. It has my highest recommendation as a stunning example of fine scholarship and pastoral zeal brought into fruitful dialogue."Fr. Jan Michael Joncas
