The Holy Communion is not only a moment of spiritual fellowship but, above all, the highest possible personal encounter of the believer with his Lord and God in this life. The most appropriate attitude for this encounter is one of receiving, humility, and spiritual childlikeness. Such an attitude demands gestures of worship and reverence that express themselves. There are eloquent testimonies from the two-thousand-year tradition of the Church, characterized by the motto "with love and fear" (first millennium) and "what you can do, you should dare" (second millennium). The author also shares the example of three "eucharistic women" he personally knew from the time of the Soviet underground. Such testimonies can encourage Catholics of the third millennium and inspire them.
