State of Grace
“Condition of a person who is free from mortal sin and pleasing to God. It is the state of being in God’s friendship and the necessary condition of the soul at death in order to attain Heaven.” Note, in this definition, a soul can only be ‘pleasing to God’ when it has sanctifying grace, that supernatural quality which makes the soul resemble God, partake in His divinity, and bring the soul into close union with God.

1322 The holy Eucharist completes Christian initiation. Those who have been raised to the dignity of the royal priesthood by Baptism and configured more deeply to Christ by Confirmation participate with the whole community in the Lord’s own sacrifice by means of the Eucharist.
1323 “At the Last Supper, on the night he was betrayed, our Savior instituted the Eucharistic sacrifice of his Body and Blood. This he did in order to perpetuate the sacrifice of the cross throughout the ages until he should come again, and so to entrust to his beloved Spouse, the Church, a memorial of his death and resurrection: a sacrament of love, a sign of unity, a bond of charity, a Paschal banquet ‘in which Christ is consumed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us.’”133

El «síndrome de Chesterton»
Chesterton sudó al comulgar por primera vez: temblor y temor reverencial ante la Presencia Real. El autor reflexiona sobre ese estremecimiento –mysterium tremendum– para resaltar su contraste con una praxis litúrgica hoy cada vez más horizontal y banalizada, donde gestos, mediaciones y silencio se erosionan. Recuperar la comunión en la boca, de rodillas y administrada por un ministro ordenado no debe ser opción marginal, sino pedagogía medular, necesaria, de lo sagrado.
