The Catechism
of the Catholic Church states:
The
Eucharist is “the source and summit of the Christian life. The other
sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the
apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward It. For in
the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church,
namely Christ Himself, our Pasch.
The Eucharist is the efficacious sign and sublime cause of that communion in the divine life and that unity of the People of God by which the Church is kept in being. It is the culmination both of God’s action sanctifying the world in Christ and of the worship men offer to Christ and through Him to the Father in the Holy Spirit.
Finally, by the Eucharistic celebration we already unite ourselves with the heavenly liturgy and anticipate eternal life, when God will be all in all. (CCC 1324-26) Svitozar Nenyuk- USA
