Sfânta Euharistie – hrană vieţii veşnice şi putere a predării întregii existenţe lui Dumnezeu
The Holy Eucharist – the holy bread for eternal life and the power of teaching the entire existence of God

Summary/Abstract: The lives of the saints clearly prove that the Holy Eucharist not only gives the Christians the power to die to sin and completely surrender to God, but also empowers them to live the life of Christ authentically in their bodies, and to probe the truthfulness of their total self-sacrifice by welcoming real death as a gift offered to the Father, in the image of the Saviour’s sacrifice. Hence, those who choose to suffer mystical death through the Holy Mysteries, or real death through martyrdom, are rewarded with insight into the deep and profound meaning of the Holy Eucharist. They are “always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in their body...” (2 Cor. 4, 10), as Saint Apostle Paul writes. The lives of the saints show that all Christians are called to bear witness, in front of the whole world, for the mystical reality of the Holy Communion, as a means for men to sample and engage the power of Christ's humanity, so as to put an end to all of their selfish behaviours and start self-sacrificing their lives to the Father, just as the Saviour did.
