Summary/Abstract: Trying to systematize the Eucharistic doctrine of the Saint Cyril, we shall enumerate the themes linked to it effects on the believers: by receiving the Saint Eucharist, we are penetrated by Christ and changed through him, the least part of the Saint Eucharist contributes to this transformation. Christ is entirely contained in it, He is not divided when the Eucharist is given to a number of people. We shouldn‟t go far from it because of some misunderstood devotion or carelessness. To take part in the Eucharist and to lead a normal life, the Christian has to come clean and honest. It does not have the same effect on both unfaithful and faithful souls, but the former will receivethe power to retain from the sin, to cancel their cravings and will be offered spiritual health. The Saint Eucharist may be preserved, keeping its spiritual value. It is a sacrifice, a pure and unbloody sacrifice where Christ is immolated and this sacrifice can be brought only in the Church; we do offer it and continue to do so till the end of times.
