THE LANGUAGE OF SILENCE IN THE FACE OF THE EUCHARISTIC MYSTERY
Mariusz Drozdowski
Abstract
The heart of every Eucharist is the Eucharistic mystery, understood as sacrifice, presence
and feast. In this way the Church strengthens, grows and expresses itself in the universal sacrament
of salvation. For the whole community celebrating the Eucharist, the Lord Jesus becomes
a meeting place both in a personal and community dimension. This being with Christ can also
take place in the form of a community of thinking, meditation, contemplation, and adoration of
the Blessed Sacrament. Silence seems to be the space in which the voice of the transcendent God
is heard the most. The problem, however, is in the perception of the man himself. The technology-
-rich world does not allow for stagnation and slump. The reflection of the civilization progress is
continuous movement, and thus the accumulation of sounds, which can be called an industrial
cacophony. Therefore, modern man should consciously work to reduce noise, both phonic and
media one, so as not to drown out the inner voice of the transcendent God.
