"I am going to suggest that the culminating contribution of the second millennium, the defining characteristic of the twentieth century, and the most important source of energy for the immediate future is the emergence of women, the beginning of the recognition of the full personhood of half the human family, " writes Sandra Schneiders in the introduction to the 2000 Madeleva Lecture, a series that has been as groundbreaking as it has been thought provoking. Writing with her characteristic clarity, foresightedness and intelligence, the author examines some of the deeply transformative effects of feminism on both twentieth-century America and the postconciliar church, and explores how a Gospel-informed feminism can offer a new vision of humanity, church and world for a new century. This 2000 Madeleva lecture will lay the groundwork for a discussion called Convergence 2000 to be held at St. Mary's College the day following the lecture. All previous Madeleva lecturers will meet to collaborate on a "Statement for Women in the Twenty-First Century," which is sure to be widely publicized. This lecture will be especially popular because of its widely known and respected author. Women and men owe it to themselves to read this engaging, visionary work.

With Oil in Their Lamps: Faith, Feminism, and the Future
Preacher to the popes since 1980, Fr. Cantalamessa offers a robust examination of the Eucharist at a time (the early 1980s) when devotion was undergoing a renaissance. Fr. Cantalamessa considers scriptural, theological, ecclesiastical, and eschatological aspects of the Eucharist.
Most of my reviews try to get at some theory offered by the author; that would be inapt here. This is a theologically informed devotional book - smartly written, comprehensive, and steeped in citations. But it does not aim to be a development of doctrine so much as an exhortation to integrate the Eucharist and its sacrificial, generous modes of being into the whole life of believer and Church. The Eucharist, Fr. Cantalamessa successfully argues (with extensive references to Christian Fathers and appropriate nods to non-Catholic Christian sources), is the apex and source of the Christian life. It is Jesus Christ, true Blood (a point Fr. Cantalamessa stresses) and true Body, gathering and transforming his people and his world.
Fr. Cantalamessa is an effective prophet of the Real Presence and a faithful critic of the Church when it fails to live concorditantly with that truth or witness to it with real authority. A good read for a Catholic looking to kindle sacramental fire.
