  Article:   THE IMPERIOUS EUCHARIST: THE TESTAMENT OF POPE JOHN PAUL II .

  Abstract:   On October 7, 2004, the Pope John Paul the II inaugurated the Eucharistic Year, but he left to God before its conclusion, on April 2, 2005. Being the last matter that he gave to the Universal Church in his 27 years of pontificate, we can consider the “Imperious Eucharist” as his last spiritual will, the horizon of the pastoral direction that he wished for the people of God at the turn of the third millennium. Underlining the inestimable value of the Eucharist, the Pope John Paul the II put into bold relief the contrast between the teaching of the Church and the life of Christians. His mystical view observed the deficit of the Eucharistic experience; that is why he noticed the Eucharistic urgency that the Church is living nowadays. The refresh of the faith in the true presence of the Christ in Eucharist will determine a refresh of the life and of the testimony of the Church in the middle of nowadays people. 

Keywords: Pope John Paul the II, Church, pastoral year, Eucharist, true presence, transubstantiation, paschal mystery, faith, Christian experience, pastoral action.
