Abstract
The theme of this paper is a model of a eucharistic spirituality of Croatian and Slovenian clergy at the beginning of the 20th century. In a particular way the role of the monthly “Sanctissima Eucharistia”, periodical of the clerical fraternity “Adoring priests“, i.e. “Duhovnikov Častivcev”, which was edited and printed bilingually, according to the idea of the bishop Antun Mahnić, in Krk, in the typography of the diocese, “Kurkyta”. Two Eucharistic meetings, held in Trsat 1902, and in Ljubljana in 1904, are also presented. This feature of the clerical spirituality is a part of a spiritual movement which in the second half of the 19th century was promulgated by the French Julien Pierre Eymard, the founder of the Congregation of the Most Holy Sacrament – Congregatio SS Sacramenti.
