The suitable preparation underlines the importance of the event. That is why the Eucharist must be prepared, because it was prepared by Christ Himself and now it requires, all the time, verification of its entire content’s perspective. At that point, difficulties can be found in the habits of the believers and shepherds, like being too attached to intentions and scholarship or understanding of Sunday duty. Meanwhile, the miracle unity of the believer and Christ, who saves and renews us, is accomplished in the celebration of Eucharist. By human renewal the renewal of his environment and all the creation is made. During the Eucharist the Church community as a God’s convening is revealed. It is included in the Saviour sacri-fice, which is made present on the altar. The direct preparation of the believer is expressed by a proper festive outfit, a care of active participation and a spiritual preparation. The preparation of the priest is more complex. Apart from the attitude of faith, he is required to be more aware of the holy activities he makes. There are century-honoured prayers which can help. Their aim is to ensure himself the need of God’s help when he approaches the sacred secrets.
