Sažetak
The article deals with the “eulogistic attempt” developed by Lothar Lies within the framework of his theology of the sacraments. Starting from the experience of encounter, Lies analyzes man’s personality by considering the four substantive aspects of the Old Testament blessing: anamnesis, epiclesis, koinonia, and prosphora. Since the Eucharist inherits the same structure as the Old Testament blessing and is the sacrament in which the communicative intervention between God and man is most clearly expressed, it is the space in which the salvific encounter between these two freedoms is realized, and the answer to man’s fourfold existential quests. The same encounter opens man to God, promotes his freedom, and mediates his participation in the security of the intra-divine trinitarian communia. This is precisely the key dimension of man’s personality and identity, and Lies rightly concludes that man’s existence is blessed or eucharistic.
