| Summary: | The article treats the lasting relevance of the Magisterium of Blessed John
Paul II during the Forty-sixth International Eucharistic Congress, held in the
important Polish city of Wroc
ł
aw, in 1997. The article highlights the originality
of the theme of the Congress, namely, the important relationship binding together
the celebration/adoration of the Eucharist and human freedom, while making
appropriate cross-references to the same topic in other documents by the Slav
Pope. Eucharistic orthopraxis is not only related to disinterested service in favour
of one’s neighbour in commendable actions of
diakonia
, but also to the quest for
freedom in the context of the respect of civil and social liberties and the exercise
of religious freedom. |
