Summary/Abstract: Our culture experiences a crisis which is both moral and religious. The world looks upon God and His Church as irrelevant for its existence. The best solution to the current situation must be found by rediscovering the Holy Eucharist. We should view once again the Holy Communion in its true value and signifi cance, as sacrament of God’s kingdom. In the Eucharist, the church’s Holy of Holies, we can fi nd the source of our spiritual rebirth. Only through Holy Communion man experiences relief from his fears, from his disordered passions and hesitations and grows to fulfi ll the will of God because he receives the power of Christ’s sacrifi ce in his very being. This presentation explores the ways in which our secularized society can be renewed through the Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist.
