The Council declared that when our Savior was about to leave this world for the Father, he established the Eucharist, into which he seemed to pour all the wealth of his love for people.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Savior, therefore, wanted this sacrament of love and union to be received as spiritual food for souls to feed and strengthen themselves with:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201e<em>Even he who is me will live by me<\/em>\u201c (<em>Jn<\/em> 6, 57); as a healing agent that frees us from mundane transgressions and protects us from mortal sins; as a gift of our future glory and eternal happiness; as a symbol of the unity of the mysterious body, whose Jesus is the head of the (. <em>1 Cor<\/em><\/strong><span><strong>\u00a011, 3; Ef 5, 23)<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span>Preparation for Holy Communion<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Church teaches about preparation as \u201eoznadia,\u201d about the overall spiritual state of the recipient. Since, strictly speaking, no man or any other creature will ever be worthy to be sacramentally united with God&#8217;s Son Jesus Christ, it is also true here that man should do that; he can do his best.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Council of Trent bindingly ordered that the baptized person properly prepare to receive Holy Communion: \u201e Those who are dressed in wedding dresses approach this table of God\u201c ( <em>Mt<\/em>\u00a022, 11 &#8211; 14).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Being in biblical \u201ewedding clothing\u201c means having sanctifying grace in the soul. Not having it means being in grave, mortal sin (. <em>1 Cor<\/em>\u00a011, 27 &#8211; 29).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Subsequently, one must have a pious intention, which is manifested by current regret for venial sins; appropriate prayer; Eucharistic (one-hour) fasting, and proper external behavior (odev, method of receiving).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Church emphasizes the vital necessity of constant preparation (. <em>KKC<\/em>\u00a01385 &#8211; 1388;\u00a0<em>CIC<\/em>\u00a0912 &#8211; 919).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>How best to dispose of the reception? The Church and the spiritual fathers proceed in their advice from the essence of the sacrament:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201e This is a deep connection of believers with Christ through Holy Communion: we accept him who sacrificed himself for us, his body that he gave for us on the cross, his blood that he shed ,<em>for all, for the forgiveness of sins \u2047\u00a0<\/em>\u201c (<em>Mt<\/em>\u00a026, 28;\u00a0\u00a0<em>Ecclesia de Eucharistia<\/em>\u00a0&#8211; Church lives from Eucharist 16).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Jesus himself assures us that such a connection, which he confirmed as an analogy of the life of the Holy Trinity, is truly taking place. The Eucharist is the actual feast at which Christ is given as food.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>It is not a metaphorical dish: \u201e<em>For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink<\/em>\u201c (<em>Jn<\/em>\u00a06, 55). While the \u201eexternal method\u201c of reception, which has changed many times in the history of the Church, is secondary.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Above all, we are bound to imitate Jesus, who often wanted his followers to take an example from him. The spiritual fathers emphasize that Christ&#8217;s humility and obedience should not be missing in the good Eucharist available.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>We have already said that the Eucharist\u00a0<span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\">is formative (Prov.\u00a0<em>Verbum Domini<\/em> 56), which means that we must strive to adopt Jesus&#8217;s new lifestyle<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Why are the two mentioned virtues \u2013 Jesus&#8217; humility and obedience preferred when receiving the Eucharist? Because they are the most \u201ematerialized \u201c in receiving. The Son of God humbles himself when he enters ordinary bread and wine through priestly consecration.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Out of love for us, he puts aside his divine majesty and glorification when weak people can take it into their hands, mouths, and hearts. How much is done to our servants to change, renew, and sanctify us internally?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>We know that the whole of the Lord&#8217;s redemptive work is an expression of obedience to the second divine person \u2013 Christ the Lord to the first divine person \u2013 to the heavenly Father:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201e<em>My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to complete his work<\/em>\u201c (<em>Jn<\/em>\u00a04, 34). And at the beginning of the tridua (trojdnia) \u2013 the culmination of the divine saving work in suffering and glorification, Jesus prays in absolute obedience: \u201e<em>Father, if you will, take this cup from me! Well, not mine, but your will be done!<\/em>\u201c (<em>Lk<\/em>\u00a022, 42).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>How nice and encouraging it was when, in March of this year, after the introduction of security-hygienic measures, the Roman Catholic bishops unexpectedly\u2014almost overnight\u2014ordered a new way of receiving Holy Communion on our hands. The vast majority of believers did it in humility and obedience.
