(II) 14.Church – The Theanthropic Sacrament – Eucharist – Kingdom of God.

     Thus, the necessary condition for a worthy communion (i.e., communion of the Holy Spirit, the Kingdom of Heaven, Happiness) at the Eucharist is to be a parishioner with a specific ministry entrusted to me by the community (in a healthy, living Body there are no neutral, passive, unengaged, non-functional members-organs; and sick organs (in the 2nd person from diseases, falling into sin no one is insured), if someone gets sick, “breaks down” – are actively (in the labors of repentance) healed). Belonging to the parish is not about who comes to meetings-prayers, but about who comes to the Eucharist, performing the common cause (Liturgy) with other parishioners, each fulfilling the duties-services entrusted by the community (starting from the bishop to the ‘least significant’ service; there is no service that does not require other services; no service has fullness, all grace and strength, unless it is connected with other services). Therefore, the Eucharist can be performed (in worthy communion of the communicants) only at the Liturgy (= the common cause, in which all members of the local Church-parish are involved). The Eucharist is performed only in the context of the Liturgy, which is performed by the parish! The sign that you are a member of the parish (parishioner) is when your absence in the parish is not only visually noticeable (does not come to the assembly), but primarily is palpable (a certain service is not performed). The sign that you are in the community (note – this is only checked by negative experience) – without you, it should be harder to do something: you can hop on one leg, but it’s easier to reach somewhere on two legs; doing something with one hand or two – a noticeable difference, one ear and two, one kidney and two; and how hard it becomes when there is one organ and it is missing – how much effort is then needed to maintain the vitality of the organism, etc. Hence the conclusion – the fewer parishioners at the Liturgy (not a small parish, but a minor part of the parish), the harder it is to partake of the Holy Spirit at the Eucharist!

Therefore – bishops, presbyters or anyone of the faithful, do not deceive yourselves that you are partaking of the Holy Spirit at the Eucharist if you do not care and are not zealous for the entire community to partake, i.e., if you do not partake with everyone!!! Because at the Eucharist one can only partake of the Holy Spirit in the Church, only together with all the faithful in the mystery of communion of all with everyone!!!

Why are there so few Christian communicants of the Holy Spirit?! Because there are no living communities-parishes! The Eucharist (= Holy Spirit) can only be partaken in the Church (in the gathering of all the faithful (who can come), mainly on Sunday, at the ‘breaking of bread’), where there is no ‘one without many’ and ‘many without one,’ that is, ‘I’ without ‘We,’ and more precisely, ‘We’ first, and then ‘I’ (‘I’ is only a consequence of the communion of ‘We,’ because in baptism ‘I’ joins the Body, which Lives and is constituted by the communion of hypostases, that is, ‘We’). Hence, those who try to partake of the Eucharist, live the spiritual life of the Church (and there are very few such people), remain fruitless of the Holy Spirit due to the lack of living communities! No one in the Church lives for themselves alone or by themselves. And due to the lack of living communities, those who sincerely seek Eucharistic life inevitably fall into individualism (because they partake alone, or a few people present at the Eucharist), engaging in self-salvation, using Church (Sacraments, rites, services), rather than living in the Church! The Church from a liturgical-Eucharistic community has transformed into an institution for the perfection of moral qualities of individuals who self-improve, self-save, using all things Church (Sacraments, services, Scripture, etc.) and living their own lives! Where there is ‘self-‘ (egotism: I came, I pray, I partake, I save myself, I am sorry, I need, etc.), there cannot be communion of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Communion, the Spirit of Catholicity, the Spirit of Love! For salvation, not the Church is needed, but the Church itself, because only by being in the Church can one partake of the Church!!! The Eucharist can only be partaken by being a member of a community-parish, only together in the context of a common cause (thus the Eucharist is performed only in the Church (the gathering of all the faithful) in the context of the Liturgy). The necessary condition for partaking of the Eucharist – the organic unity of all members of the community, which is only possible in the diversity of services, when we without each other feel the deficiency (suffers one member – suffer with him all). Each in the community must become ‘We,’ not ‘I’ do something, but ‘We,’ and this ‘We’ must not only be in mind, because this is how one must think, but at all levels of being – which is achieved by common liturgical life, at the center of which stands the Eucharist, and this is the necessary condition for partaking of the Holy Spirit at the Eucharist!
