Abstract
Question on universality of the Eucharist stems from plurality of its celebration and understanding in various ecclesial communities. The question itself pertains to Eucharistic ecclesiology. How a Eucharistic celebration has built an ecclesial unity throughout its history, all over the world? This article aims to contribute to this respective discussion especially from the perspective of the teachings of Vatican II as well as the thoughts of St. John Paul II and Pope emeritus Benedict XVI. The discussion on the cosmic character as well as eschatological, social and cultural of the Eucharist demonstrates that the plurality of its celebration and understanding in various ecclesial communities are not necessarily confusing its universal meaning, but enriching it. This should happen especially when a Eucharistic celebration remain faithfully in expressing the mystery of Christ and therefore the nature of the Church.

Berkaitan dengan paham perayaan Ekaristi yang bernilai universal, setiap perayaan Ekaristi adalah sungguh perayaan Gereja yang satu, kudus, Katolik dan apostolik. Tokoh-tokoh seperti Dumitro Staniloae, Zizioulas, dan Afanassieff berdiskusi banyak mengenai gagasan eklesiologi ekaristis ini.[6] Umumnya ada semacam kesepakatan para teolog bahwa eklesiologi ekaristis menunjukkan cara pemahaman Gereja yang berpangkal dari Ekaristi, dan yang menjadi prinsip pemersatunya adalah kehadiran Tuhan Yesus Kristus yang wafat dan bangkit di setiap perayaan Ekaristi entah itu dirayakan di mana. Itulah diskusi mengenai tema inkulturasi Ekaristi yang di Indonesia ini memperoleh perhatian dan geraknya yang sangat dinamis
