Sfânta Euharistie, izvor de putere sfinţitoare şi de iubire jertfelnică pentru Dumnezeu
Holy Eucharist, source of sanctifying power and sacrificial love for God

Summary/Abstract: In the Eucharist, crucified and resurrected Christ makes us partake of His permanent state of sacrifice, as eternal High Priest. Out of Christ’s pure state of sacrifice we receive the power to offer ourselves to the Father in the Eucharist, together with Him. Taking the Body and Blood of Christ as food and drink, we grow into Christ, that is, in His humanity full of the Holy Spirit or in His likeness. Receiving the Eucharistic Christ, the life of the faithful ascends towards holiness, as fulfillment of humanness. Once they have taken communion, they are fully transposed in the sacrifice state of Christ and therefore they are able to suffer for the divine law and to raise up to a superior level of existence. An illustration of this is given by Christian martyrs, who faced hardships bravely, proving allegiance to moral order.
