Abstract

Human persons have the basis of their identity in the Trinitarian God. Human being a person is not a quality of human nature, but a relational event, analogous to intra-Trinitarian Communion. That is why people can be an image of the Holy Trinity life only in the community of the Church. J.D. Zizioulas believes that the person is not a static whole, but a reality open to relations. Being a person implies not only the “openness of being”, but also a movement towards building a communion that transcends the boundaries of one’s own self. Man exists as a biological being, but the action of God’s grace realizes the personal way of being of human beings, transforms their distorted individuating existence and enables their ecclesial existence. The personalization of the human being takes place in the communion of the Church. It can be achieved through a union with Christ in baptism only in the Holy Spirit, under the influence of a great sacramental initiation, and the Eucharist is not only an assembly but also a way to historical fulfilment and revelation of man’s eschatic existence.
