Niedziela dniem chrześcijanina

Abstract

The Holy Father John Paul II in his Apostolic Letter Dies Domini on celebration of Sunday shows, among others, Sunday as the day of the Christian. On this day Christians, natherine at the Sunday Eucharist, meet the resurrected Christ who celebrates His Paschal mystery. The meeting happens at two tables: at the table of God’s word and at the table of the Eucharist, and it has the character of a feast that is a communion - unity with God and the neighbours. Every unity gives joy. Joy, in turn, should lead to love, to works of charity and to apostleship. Hence, a confirmation of authenticity of the Sunday Eucharist gathering is the readiness of its participants to share material goods with the poor and with those in need of aid. In this way Christians follow Christ’s footsteps, who gave Good News to the poor, preached freedom to captives, sight to the blind, who turned the downtrodden into free men and foretold a year of grace from the Lord (cf. Luke 4, 18-19).
