The purpose of this paper was to show a justificatory aspect of the Eucharist. This sacrament has got positive and negative aspects. The Eucharist is a sacrament which leads to gradual justification through transformation of a whole human being into the resurrected Christ, which will be immortalized in the final kingdom in which the whole Christian life is included. This is a splendid synthesis of grace and cooperation of a human being, sacramental and ascetic life, liturgy and life, presence and future. The Eucharist continues the process of justification initiated by baptism. Therefore, it is a sacrament which in its repeatable character points out this healing effect of Christ on our nature, sick due to sin. The grace of justification is particularly received in the Eucharist. The sacrament of Baptism we take only once. We often receive the Eucharist because we often offend God. Looking for the grace of justification we are trying to expiate for our guilt, that is why we have to turn back and to overcome sin; those factors would not be effective in our fight against the sin, if we did not add the Eucharist, the only remedy for human evil.
