Summary/Abstract: Appreciating the meaning of the liturgy in the overall activity of the Church consequently leads to the discovery of its relationship with Christian spirituality. This has resulted in the emergence of a field of theology called liturgical spirituality, in which the liturgy of the Church determines the quality of life of the believer and at the same time shapes it. Considering the importance and role of the Eucharist in a Christian’s life, the fullest realization of liturgical spirituality is a believer’s participation in the Eucharistic liturgy. Hence, we can talk about a so-called Eucharistic spirituality, which is an example of liturgical spirituality. The issue discussed in this article is summarized in the following question: how does the Eucharist shape the Christian life of a believer participating in it?
