EKARISTI DI MEJA PERJAMUAN ESKATOLOGI | THE EUCHARIST AT THE ESCHATOLOGICAL TABLE

This text critiques the concept of eucharist-eschatology which is found in two works by local NTT artists. Using an eschatological approach and a study of the document Sacrosanctum Concilium regarding liturgy, two important messages have been identified in those works. First, solidarity is an effort to share. This virtue is primarily seen in the attitude of God who left His/Her grandeur and took on the form of a human being. Second, the act of giving as a form of solidarity comes from an awareness of the missionary aspect of the vocation of the faithful. Via the artistic works of two local artists, the faithful are helped to consider and idealise the eschatological eucharist. These two works show the clear connection between the celebration of the eucharist in the world and the eternal eucharist, the place where humanity meets God who is both intimate but also majestic.
