Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to present the most fundamental elements of building an authentic Eucharistic spirituality based on the Apostolic Exhortation of Pope Benedict XVI, Sacramentum Caritatis. Using the liturgical hermeneutics method allowed us to point out essential components that build authentic Eucharistic spirituality. These include union between the Eucharist and all of the Christian teachings, faith built on listening to the word of God, as well as the spirit of servitude, present in everyday life, coming from the Eucharist. Acknowledging those elements lets one know that the Eucharist is always the one and only since it is always a presentation of Christ’s unique Paschal mystery, done for humankind’s salvation.
