Eucharist Completes Christian Initiation
- The Eucharist completes Christian initiation after baptism and confirmation by uniting us as the royal priesthood in the Lord's sacrifice.
- It is a unique sacrament of love, unity, and charity, deeply connecting us with Christ's sacrifice and the Church.
Eucharist: Source and Summit of Life
- The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Christian life, containing the whole spiritual good of the Church: Christ himself.
- All other sacraments and ministries are oriented toward and bound up with the Eucharist.
Eucharist is Truly Christ Himself
- The Eucharist is not just an action of Christ but truly Christ himself; receiving His body and blood is necessary for life within us.
- Jesus emphasized this at the Last Supper: "This is my body... this is my blood," making the Eucharist unique among sacraments.
