Eucharist


The Most Holy Eucharist is the most august sacrament, in which Christ the Lord himself is contained, offered and received, and by which the Church constantly lives and grows. The Eucharistic Sacrifice, the memorial of the death and resurrection of the Lord, in which the sacrifice of the cross is perpetuated over the centuries, is the summit and the source of all Christian worship and Life; it signifies and effects the unity of the people of God and achieves the building up of the Body of Christ.  The other sacraments and all the ecclesiastical works of the apostolate are closely related to the Holy Eucharist and are directed to it.  (CAN 897)


The faithful are to hold the Eucharist in highest honor, taking part in the celebration of the Most August Sacrifice, receiving the sacrament devoutly and frequently, and worshiping it with supreme adoration; pastors, clarifying the doctrine on this sacrament, are to instruct the faithful thoroughly about this obligation. (CAN 898)
