Abstract
Sobór Trydencki podjął zadanie przedłożenia nauki o Eucharystii, zwłaszcza w konfrontacji z
nauką innowierców. Refleksja ta w sposób systematyczny została zawarta w dekretach
uchwalonych na sesjach w 1551 i 1562 r. Naukę tę na płaszczyźnie pastoralnej, jako pomoc dla
duszpasterzy, ujęto w Katechizmie Rzymskim, opublikowanym w 1566 r. W myśl nauki Soboru
Trydenckiego w agendach polskich zamieszczano katechezy, które miały pomóc wiernym nie tylko
zrozumieć głębię teologiczną sakramentów, ale również miały charakter parenetyczny. Przykładem
są katechezy dotyczące Eucharystii znajdujące się w Agendzie ks. Hieronima Powodowskiego.
Istotnym fundamentem w katechezach w Agendzie Powodowskiego dotyczących Eucharystii
były teksty biblijne: zarówno obrazy starotestamentalne, jak i też wydarzenia nowotestamentalne. Na
podkreślenie zasługuje ukazanie Eucharystii w świetle całej historii zbawienia — od stworzenia
świata aż do apogeum misterium Odkupienia. Wezwanie Chrystusa: „to czyńcie na moją pamiątkę”
od początku chrześcijaństwa było realizowane w Kościele. Sakrament ten bowiem postrzegano jako
źródło wszystkich sakramentów. Istotną treścią takiego ujęcia jest fakt, że Chrystus jest realnie
obecny w misterium Eucharystii. Przyjęcie tej prawdy wymaga postawy wiary w realną obecność
Chrystusa we Mszy św. Zakłada ona postawę wiary w przeistoczenie, podkreślając znaczenie
Eucharystii jako ofiary. Oddzielnym zagadnieniem było przygotowanie wiernych do przyjęcia
Komunii św. Zwracano uwagę na konieczność sakramentalnej spowiedzi w przypadku grzechów
ciężkich. Jednocześnie Eucharystia chroni przed grzechami ciężkimi, odpuszcza grzechy lekkie,
umacnia wiarę, nadzieję i miłość, a jednocześnie pozwala zachować pobożność. Dlatego wymagano
postawy pokory i skruchy, na wzór setnika z Ewangelii, i zalecano, aby nie przystępować w roztargnieniu. Historyczne spojrzenie na misterium Eucharystii na pewno przyczyni się do pogłębienia
świadomości eucharystycznej wśród wiernych i przyczyni się do pełnego, świadomego i czynnego
uczestniczenia we Mszy świętej.
The Council of Trent undertook the task of presenting the doctrine of the Eucharist, especially in confrontation with the teaching of dissenters. This reflection was systematically included in the council decrees adopted at sessions in 1551 and 1562. At the pastoral level, this teaching, as an aid for priests, was included in the Roman Catechism, published in 1566. According to the teaching of the Council of Trent, catecheses were included in Polish agendas, which were to help the faithful not only understand the theological depth of the sacraments, but also had a parenetic character. An example are catecheses on the Eucharist on the agenda of Fr. Hieronim Powodowski. Biblical texts, both Old Testament images and New Testament events, were an important Foundation in the Powodowski’s catecheses on the Eucharist. It is worth emphasizing the presentation of the Eucharist in the light of the whole history of salvation—from the creation of the world to the apogee in the mystery of Redemption. Christ’s cali: “do this in remembrance of me” has been realized in the Church since the beginning of Christianity. This sacrament was seen as the source of all sacraments. The essential content of this approach is the fact that Christ is really present in the mystery of the Eucharist. Accepting this truth requires an attitude of faith in the real presence of Christ in Mass. It assumes an attitude of faith in transubstantiation, emphasizing the importance of the Eucharist as a sacrifice. Preparing the faithful to receive Holy Communion was a separate issue. Attention was drawn to the need for sacramental confession in the case of grave sins. At the same time, the Eucharist protects against grave sins, forgives venal sins, strengthens faith, hope and love, while maintaining piety. Therefore, humbleness and repentance were required, following the example of the Gospel centurion, and they were advised not to absent-mindedly. A historical look at the mystery of the Eucharist will certainly contribute to the deepening of Eucharistic awareness among the faithful and will contribute to fill, conscious and active participation in the Holy Mass
