Scott Hahn
Within a week or two I had fallen head over heels in love with the Mass. I was transformed. The Eucharist became, in a sense, the all-controlling central desire of my life! I can’t describe to you the passionate thirst and hunger that came me day after day as I saw all of these people going up and being fed with the Body and Blood of our Lord!
– Scott Hahn, Catholic theologian, professor and speaker, former Protestant minister
