Prvá séria: Reálna prítomnosť Výpisky zo spisov a kázní vdp. Eymarda, zakladateľa Spoločnosti Najsvätejšej sviatosti oltárnej. Dielo Božia Eucharistia vznikla spracovaním spisov a kázní francúzskeho kňaza sv. Petra Juliána Eymarda, zakladateľa Spoločnosti Najsvätejšej sviatosti oltárnej. Obsahuje cenné myšlienky na rozjímanie o tajomstve reálnej prítomnosti Krista v Eucharistii. Kniha je vhodná nielen na rozjímanie a kontempláciu tohto tajomstva pri adorácii v chráme, ale aj na prehĺbenie poznania tohto obdivuhodného tajomstva. Texty sú preniknuté hlbokým citom odovzdanosti a lásky ich autora voči Božej vznešenosti Ježiša Krista, ktorý prebýva uprostred svojho ľudu, často nepovšimnutý a zaznávaný. Sú cenným pokladom osobného vzťahu medzi svätcom a Bohom, z ktorého možno mnoho načerpať. Žiaden vrúcny ctiteľ Najsvätejšej sviatosti by nemal postrádať túto vzácnu knihu.
