Sfânta Împărtășanie – restaurarea comunicării reale și depline prin Hristos, în Duhul Sfânt

Abstract

The virtues of human communication, due to which, in the end, progress and knowledge spread throughout the world today, may turn into their opposites in an unsettling form of isolation, desocialisation, a selfish closing in self. If the reach of poor man's spiritual powers intuition remains only a intuition of a few attributes of divinity in contemplation of nature, God comes to meet him, as an undeniable proof of love, and it speaks, first indirectly through the prophets inspired by the Holy Spirit and then directly through His embodied Son, the Word through which God creates and speaks us; and when we weaken the direct link with him as dialogue partners, He makes Himself man and remains God too. Christ risen from the dead not only communicates with us, but He also communicates to us, gives us not only what He has, but what He himself is; and communicating with the Body and Blood makes us hope in the Resurrection of our life, the complete communication with God, without which there is no eternal life. The presence in the Church of the sacraments of grace of the Holy Spirit, as the gift of God is the guarantee of saving and restoring the loving communication of both man and his Creator. And the Holy Eucharist is the peak of human relationship with God in Christ, because through it the Saviour is fully in us, and we are in Him, in the communion and unity of love. Thus, obeying God Who continually speaks through His Son, we will also know how to speak, to communicate with one another, love each other, saying our words as gifts for the neighbours who need us and which identifies the Incarnate Word Himself.
