*That* Miracle takes place in the Liturgy

Divine life on earth begins to celebrate its
victory with Pentecost, but that victory is a hidden one, a victory to
be revealed beyond the bounds of history. And to participate in that
victory, one must create courageous warriors within the confines of
history. Christianity is a battle, all the more terrifying in the
fact that, according to the Apostle, it "is not against flesh and
blood," i.e. not against people and governments, but against
invisible, dark, mystical forces. While still here on earth,
specifically here on earth, the Christian must enter the invisible
world of Divine life; otherwise he is impotent before the world of
invisible evil. He must recognize not only the full breadth, but also
the full depth of Christianity, for only that will give him "the full
armor of light" against the full armor of darkness. It is the Liturgy,
Holy Communion, that best leads us into the Mystery of Christianity,
into its Mystical Supper. St. Cyprian of Carthage, a 3rd Century
bishop and martyr, wrote that it is impossible to leave undefended and
without weapons those who we send into battle; they must be surrounded
by the protection of the Body and Blood of Christ... they must be
armed by being frankly filled to satiation with Divinity." (St.
Cyprian of Carthage. To Cornelius. Works. Kiev, 1891 Book 1, pp.
283-284). We are not directed to seek after miracles. To the
contrary: "This evil and adulterous generation seeks after signs."
This attraction to wonders [is condemned] both in religious literature
and in life. We are directed to seek not after wonders, but the
Miracle, the greatest Miracle in human experience: partaking of life
by partaking of the Divine Body. That Miracle takes place in the
Liturgy.
