Summary/Abstract: Wanda Boniszewska one of the most recognizable Polish mystics of the twentieth century. The publication of all her spiritual writings in 2016 opens the way to the analysis of her spirituality. Among its components, the Eucharist has an important place. The sacrament of Holy Communion is her daily practice, but also a real strengthening both in the fight against Satan and in suffering. It mentions visions that appear when she participates in the Holy Mass or adores the Blessed Sacrament and those that are a reference to the Passion of Christ. The love for Christ manifests in her as a desire to unite with the “Prison of Love in the Tabernacle” and pay Him for insults committed by priests and consecrated persons. The text is an analysis of those parts of the journal of Wanda Boniszewska, which have a reference to the Eucharist.
