Abstract

This work is trying to point out vivid interweaving of married
or family life and the mystery of the Eucharist. The first part
analyzes how some of the basic dimensions of the Eucharist
(Eucharist under the guise of sacrifice, feast, ecclesiality and
social commitment) mirror within the framework of marriage and
family. The authors believe that exactly that existential connection
between the Eucharist and family is fundamental to any kind of
pastoral work with families. The second part, emphasizing that
family is in the focus of pastoral care, presents an overview of
some significant initiatives of family pastoral in Croatia.
