EKPOMA REVIEW

This paper attempts a theological reflection on the Eucharist, with the aim of reawakening interest in daily participation at Eucharistic celebrations. With the gruesome attack on persons during the Eucharistic celebrations, a lot of fear and questions have gradually led to a decline in mass attendance. Despite the challenges, it must be noted that the Eucharist gives meaning and purpose to our everyday existence, putting us in constant communion with God, so the fear and terror, pain and sorrow cannot be compared to the union we have with Christ at each Eucharistic celebration. Using the analytical and expository method, this work tries to delineate basic truths as it pertains to daily participation at Eucharist celebrations and its consequent effects upon the lives of individuals. This piece concludes that the Eucharist is the remedy for terror as well as the source for the reign of peace and tranquillity. We must all come to an appreciation of this august sacrament with the eyes of faith.
