Abstract

The Eucharistic character of the religious community in relation to individualism.
The Eucharistic table can be a school from which today’s world has to learn. Participation in Eucharistic communion is the most real model of practicing love and mutual embrace by sharing from the same chalice and participating in the breaking of bread. Because what constitutes the liturgical sacrifice of the Eucharist is not only bread and wine, but also koinoia. Therefore, the liturgical practice of the Eucharist should become a model of living and communion for the entire world. The liturgical service is addressed to all people, and the Eucharist makes the world a koinonia.
