Abstract
What relation occurs between the written word of God and the Eucharist? Presented in this article response to the above question, follows the line of teaching contained within the Dogmatic Constitution of Dei Verbum of Second Vatican Council. The Council has made the appreciation of the word of God undeniable and directly associated it with the celebration of the Eucharist, however, there is nothing in the Council’s teaching that would allow to equate the importance of the Christ’s presence in the scripture with His presence in the Eucharist. The statements of the Church following the Second Vatican Council clearly confirm this, therefore the occurring difference should be a point of reference for the formulation of the diverse proposals concerning Bible’s presence in the house of God.
