by Joyce Ann Zimmerman, CPPS
In Waiting on the Beloved: The Eucharist as Self-Giving Love, celebrated author and teacher, Joyce Ann Zimmerman, cpps, animates readers to “contemplate God’s unfailing and abiding love” (from the preface). Through thought-provoking reflections, readers are drawn into quiet communion with the Beloved, where we become aware that our waiting “is a matter of waiting on ourselves to become ever more deeply aware, responsive, self-emptying, self-giving, seeking, yearning, and expecting” (preface).
The first three chapters survey God’s unfathomable love for us, and the last three chapters shift to us and what we do with this gift of divine love. While words are inadequate to express God’s love for us and our love for God, the Eucharist is at the heart of Divine love and is the ultimate expression of God’s self-giving love. This book is for anyone seeking to seriously encounter the Beloved in prayer and reflection, and anyone who desires to come to a deeper union with Christ in the Eucharist.
