Like the rest of the Christian world, the Iberian Peninsula has seen different ways of approaching and living the faith over the centuries, particularly of living the Eucharist. There have been many theologies, pastoral actions and episcopal guidelines on the importance of the Eucharist for the life of the believer, but undoubtedly there have been many more examples of life that, in the social and ecclesial background, have been shaping and transfiguring testimonies of the way of living the professed faith. Both in Spain and Portugal over the last century, there have been many people whose lives have contributed to the theological and pastoral development of the Eucharist. In a way, they were the pioneers of theologies that only found expression at the academic or teaching level decades later. One of the most notorious examples that marked both countries of the peninsula was Mother Trinidad. From her actions and life, it is possible to develop theological thinking on the Eucharist and on pastoral and theological practices that urgently need to be implemented today.
