Seara duhovniceasc\u0103 a lunii martie a continuat prezentarea darurilor pe care M\u00e2ntuitorul le-a adus, a\u0219ez\u00e2nd \u00een prim-plan de aceast\u0103 dat\u0103, Sf\u00e2nta \u00cemp\u0103rt\u0103\u0219anie. Acest Dar fiind cu at\u00e2t mai pre\u021bios, cu c\u00e2t M\u00e2ntuitorul \u00censu\u0219i S-a prezentat ca: \u201eEu sunt P\u00e2inea vie\u021bii. Cine v-a m\u00e2nca din Mine nu v-a muri niciodat\u0103\u201d (cf. Ioan 6, 48-51).<\/p>

Bine\u00een\u021beles c\u0103 acest dar a fost, poate, cel mai smintitor pentru contemporani (cf. Ioan 6, 60-66). Dar, \u00een fapt, este singura \u0219ans\u0103 ca s\u0103 avem via\u021ba ve\u0219nic\u0103: \u201evoi nu ave\u021bi via\u021b\u0103 \u00een voi \u00een\u0219iv\u0103\u201d (cf. Ioan 6, 53). \u201eTat\u0103l are via\u021b\u0103 \u00een Sine \u00censu\u0219i\u201d (Ioan 5, 26) \u0219i Fiul are via\u021b\u0103 \u00een Sine. De aceea, \u201ecel ce m\u0103n\u00e2nc\u0103 trupul Meu \u0219i bea s\u00e2ngele Meu are via\u021b\u0103 ve\u0219nic\u0103\u201d (Ioan 6, 54) \u0219i \u201ecel ce M\u0103 m\u0103n\u00e2nc\u0103 pe Mine va tr\u0103i prin Mine\u201d (Ioan 6, 57). Este singura cale de a fi vii. Alta nu exist\u0103!<\/p>

\"\"Sf\u00e2nta Euharistie a fost instituit\u0103 la Cina cea de Tain\u0103 c\u00e2nd, \u201eIisus, lu\u00e2nd p\u00e2ine \u0219i binecuv\u00e2nt\u00e2nd, a fr\u00e2nt \u0219i, d\u00e2nd ucenicilor, a zis: Lua\u021bi, m\u00e2nca\u021bi, acesta este trupul Meu. \u0219i lu\u00e2nd paharul \u0219i mul\u021bumind, le-a dat, zic\u00e2nd: Be\u021bi dintru acesta to\u021bi, C\u0103 acesta este S\u00e2ngele Meu, al Legii celei noi, care pentru mul\u021bi se vars\u0103 spre iertarea p\u0103catelor\u201d (Matei 26, 26-28 ). \u00cen Biseric\u0103, \u00een via\u021ba cre\u0219tin\u0103, \u00eemp\u0103rt\u0103\u0219irea cu Trupul \u0219i S\u00e2ngele M\u00e2ntuitorului este central\u0103, foarte important\u0103, de la \u00eenceputurile cre\u0219tinismului \u0219i p\u00e2n\u0103 \u00een zilele noastre. Cre\u0219tinii au recurs la Sf\u00e2nta \u00cemp\u0103rt\u0103\u0219anie ca la principala form\u0103 de \u00eent\u0103rire pe drumul spre m\u00e2ntuire. Pe l\u00e2ng\u0103 faptul c\u0103 este centrul vie\u021bii cre\u0219tine, sau tocmai de aceea, Sf\u00e2nta Euharistie este \u0219i semn de comuniune \u00eentre Biserici, fiindc\u0103, \u00een Biserica primar\u0103 episcopii trimiteau prin diaconii lor Sf\u00e2nta \u00cemp\u0103rt\u0103\u0219anie unii altora, \u00een semn de comuniune.<\/p>

Fiindc\u0103 \u00een via\u021ba cre\u0219tineasc\u0103 este at\u00e2t de important\u0103 Sf\u00e2nta Euharistie, trebuie s\u0103 g\u0103sim calea de a ne \u00eemp\u0103rt\u0103\u0219i cu vrednicie. \u201eNu deasa sau rara \u00eemp\u0103rt\u0103\u0219anie este cea care ne ajut\u0103, ci \u00eemp\u0103rt\u0103\u0219irea cu vrednicie\u201d (Arhim. Zaharia Zaharou).<\/p>

Am v\u0103zut c\u0103 Sf\u00e2nta \u00cemp\u0103rt\u0103\u0219anie este via\u021b\u0103. \u0218i dac\u0103 nu ne \u00eemp\u0103rt\u0103\u0219im cu Trupul \u0219i S\u00e2ngele M\u00e2ntuitorului, murim. Pe de alt\u0103 parte, nu suntem vrednici, din cauza multor noastre p\u0103cate \u0219i neputin\u021be \u0219i r\u0103ut\u0103\u021bi, s\u0103 ne apropiem de Sfintele Sfin\u021bilor (cf. \u0219i I Corinteni 11, 26-31). De fiecare dat\u0103 c\u00e2nd ne apropiem de Sfintele Taine ne afl\u0103m \u00een fa\u021ba acestei imposibilit\u0103\u021bi: cum s\u0103 m\u0103 apropii de Via\u021b\u0103, fiind nevrednic?! Pe de alt\u0103 parte, nu pot s\u0103 nu m\u0103 apropii, c\u0103 mor! \u00cencerc\u00e2nd s\u0103 rezolv\u0103m aceast\u0103 imposibilitate, de fiecare dat\u0103, inima noastr\u0103 va trebui s\u0103 g\u0103seasc\u0103 o \u201ec\u00e2ntare nou\u0103\u201d pe care s\u0103 o c\u00e2nte Domnului (cf. Psalmi 95, 1) \u0219i, \u00eenfr\u00e2nt\u0103 \u0219i smerit\u0103, s\u0103 fie primit\u0103 la \u00cemp\u0103rt\u0103\u0219irea cu El.<\/p>

Rezolvarea dilemei \u201ea m\u0103 \u00eemp\u0103rt\u0103\u0219i cu vrednicie, fiind nevrednic\u201d se poate rezolva \u00een mai multe feluri (dar tot timpul numai cu o inim\u0103 \u00eenfr\u00e2nt\u0103, pl\u00e2ns\u0103 \u0219i smerit\u0103). Iar, cel mai mare ajutor, este, bine\u00een\u021beles, Maica Domnului. A\u0219a cum ne rug\u0103m la sf\u00e2r\u0219itul Acatistului Buneivestiri: \u201eTu e\u0219ti, Doamn\u0103, slav\u0103 a celor cere\u0219ti \u0219i ajut\u0103toare a p\u0103m\u00e2ntenilor; tu e\u0219ti n\u0103dejdea \u0219i folositoarea tuturor celor ce alearg\u0103 la tine \u0219i cer ajutorul t\u0103u cel sf\u00e2nt; tu e\u0219ti rug\u0103toarea cea fierbinte c\u0103tre Fiul t\u0103u \u0219i Dumnezeul nostru, c\u0103 rug\u0103ciunile Maicii mult pot spre \u00eembl\u00e2nzirea St\u0103p\u00e2nului. \u0218i, cu a ta mijlocire, \u00eendr\u0103znim s\u0103 ne apropiem de sf\u00e2ntul altar, de harul preasfintelor \u0219i de via\u021b\u0103 f\u0103c\u0103toarelor Taine, de\u0219i suntem nevrednici.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>

\u00cen Sf\u00e2nta Euharistie M\u00e2ntuitorul ni Se face cunoscut a\u0219a cum este El prin excelen\u021b\u0103: bun, bl\u00e2nd, smerit, \u00een\u021beleg\u0103tor, apropiat de sufletul p\u0103c\u0103tos care se poc\u0103ie\u0219te. \u00cens\u0103, doar \u201edac\u0103 primim p\u00e2inea vie\u021bii care S-a pogor\u00e2t din cer (cf. Ioan 6, 33) cu o inim\u0103 \u00eenfr\u00e2nt\u0103 \u0219i \u00eendurerat\u0103, atunci vom fi cu adev\u0103rat m\u00e2ng\u00e2ia\u021bi\u201d (Arhim. Zaharia), fiindc\u0103 doar o astfel de inim\u0103 poate sim\u021bi acestea.<\/p>

Dac\u0103 \u00een\u021belegem \u0219i \u00eenv\u0103\u021b\u0103m s\u0103 tr\u0103im Sf\u00e2nta Liturghie a\u0219a cum trebuie, ea ni se face izvor de \u00eennoire, de \u00eenviere, de inspira\u021bie pe drumul (str\u00e2mt) spre m\u00e2ntuire. P\u0103rintele Zaharia ne \u00eenva\u021b\u0103: \u201e\u00cen Liturghie aducem \u00eenaintea Domnului Sfintele Daruri, o buc\u0103\u021bic\u0103 de p\u00e2ine \u0219i pu\u021bin vin \u00een potir, ni\u0219te daruri aparent ne\u00eensemnate. Ele devin foarte pre\u021bioase pentru c\u0103 \u00een ele noi to\u021bi ne punem toate darurile noastre, toate rug\u0103ciunile noastre, toate n\u0103dejdile noastre, toate st\u0103rile dumnezeie\u0219ti ale inimii, toat\u0103 via\u021ba noastr\u0103. \u0218i spunem lui Dumnezeu prin gura preotului slujitor, dar \u0219i prin glasul inimii noastre: \u201eAle Tale dintru ale Tale, \u021aie aducem de toate \u0219i pentru toate\u201d. \u0218i Dumnezeu face la fel. Ca r\u0103spuns la ofrandele noastre, El le umple cu via\u021ba Sa, cu harul Sf\u00e2ntului Duh, \u0219i ne spune, din nou prin gura celui care ne reprezint\u0103, preotul slujitor: \u201eSfintele, sfin\u021bilor!\u201d (Sfintele Daruri se dau sfin\u021bilor)\u201d \u0219i continu\u0103, \u201eAtunci Liturghia va deveni locul \u00een care se va petrece un schimb de vie\u021bi: noi vom d\u0103rui mica \u0219i m\u0103rginita noastr\u0103 via\u021b\u0103 lui Hristos \u0219i vom primi \u00een schimb via\u021ba Lui nem\u0103surat de mare \u0219i ve\u0219nic\u0103. \u0218i de pe buzele noastre va r\u0103suna c\u00e2ntarea de biruin\u021b\u0103 pe care o c\u00e2nt\u0103m la sf\u00e2r\u0219itul Liturghiei: V\u0103zut-am lumina cea adev\u0103rat\u0103, primit-am Duhul cel ceresc, aflat-am credin\u021ba cea adev\u0103rat\u0103.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>

Aceasta este Sf\u00e2nta Liturghie: Via\u021b\u0103! \u00cens\u0103, dac\u0103 nu ne preg\u0103tim cum se cuvine pentru aceste daruri, dac\u0103 nu particip\u0103m \u00een mod activ, cu toate durerile, dorurile noastre, mersul nostru la biseric\u0103, ne spune P\u0103rintele Emilianos Simonopetritul, nu este \u201edec\u00e2t praf aruncat \u00een ochii lui Dumnezeu, ca s\u0103-L facem s\u0103 cread\u0103 c\u0103-L iubim, pe c\u00e2nd \u00een realitate nu avem nicio leg\u0103tur\u0103 cu El. P\u00e2n\u0103 \u00eentr-at\u00e2t \u00eenc\u00e2t, \u00eentr-o zi El ne va zice: Nu v\u0103 cunosc pe voi.\u201d<\/p>

Participarea noastr\u0103 la Sf\u00e2nta Liturghie este cu at\u00e2t mai important\u0103 \u0219i plin\u0103 de responsabilitate pentru noi, cu c\u00e2t de aceasta depinde \u0219i starea str\u0103mo\u0219ilor no\u0219tri. Ne spune P\u0103rintele Emilianos Simonopetritul: \u201eStr\u0103mo\u0219ii se des\u0103v\u00e2r\u0219esc \u0219i se umplu de lumin\u0103 \u00eempreun\u0103 cu noi, pe c\u00e2t ne sfin\u021bim noi. C\u00e2nd m\u0103n\u00e2nc, mi se hr\u0103ne\u0219te \u00eentregul trup. C\u00e2nd noi \u00cel m\u00e2nc\u0103m pe Hristos, \u00cel m\u0103n\u00e2nc\u0103 pe Hristos \u0219i aceia.
