About Faithfulness in Jesus Christ & Church
By Father Janusz
In the Eucharist our adoration should become a unity. When we celebrate the Eucharist we are all in the house of Jesus like St. John the Apostle mentioned in his Gospel.
This house becomes our house in his presence with us. In the upper room Jesus celebrated the last supper with his Apostles. They celebrated it and they memorized the event which happened many years ago. God made the chosen nation free and led them to the promised land. Jesus followed the rules until the time after the blessing of bread and wine, Jesus begins to thank his Father for the past and for the present and future. About his cross and resurrection He said, “This is my body, do this in memory of me. Take it and drink it”. Jesus gave bread and wine to the apostles, he also gave them the task to reenact this and to do it in his memory. How can this happen that Jesus shares his body and blood, he overtakes his own death and exchanges it for love? This outward appearance of a brutal act becomes an inside gesture of love. This act begins a wave of change, the final change is the change of the world, and in it becomes everything, and everything God. Violence will be exchanged for love and death exchanged for life. Only this explosion of love can start the chain of change, which will slowly change the world.
The bread and wine, (blood and body) were given to us, so that we ourselves could change. We all eat this food from the altar and we become one. The adoration becomes one. God is in us and we are in fullness with Him.
Adoration means to acknowledge God, who becomes a measurement, truly one norm with which we agree and respect. Freedom is a choice to live our lives according to the truth and goodness, because we would like to become truly one and good. I do this because this one to whom I give up, am subordinate to, He is love. This subordination creates a sense of our life, in connection with the truth of our existence.
