„Paharul mântuirii voi lua şi numele Domnului voi chema” (Ps. 115, 4). Euharistie şi isihie într-o societate totalitară
“I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD” (Ps.115, 4). Eucharist and stillness in a totalitarian society

Summary/Abstract: The Eucharist is closely connected to hesychia, that is the stillness of the mind by freeing the mind from any thoughts, so that chasing away any external influence, man should appear before God in pure prayer. The guard of the mind through calling the Lord’s name finds its fulfillment in the Eucharist. On the one hand, the stillness of the mind achieved through the Jesus prayer is the most appropriate preparation for receiving the Eucharist, and on the other hand, the communion with the Body and Blood of the Lord opens us the depths of the heart so that the mind should descend and find peace in pure prayer. Thus, receiving communion from the cup of salvation and calling the Lord’s name (Ps. 116,13) represent the two pillars which support living in the Church the new life in Christ.
