THE SACRAMENT OF THE
EUCHARIST
The holy Eucharist completes Christian initiation. Those who have been raised to the dignity of the royal priesthood by Baptism and configured more deeply to Christ by Confirmation participate with the whole community in the Lord's own sacrifice by means of the Eucharist.
(Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1322)
WHAT IS THE EUCHARIST?
At the Last Supper, on the night he was betrayed, Jesus Christ instituted the Eucharistic sacrifice of his Body and Blood. This he did in order to perpetuate the sacrifice of the cross throughout the ages until he should come again, and so to entrust to the Church a memorial of his death and resurrection: a sacrament of love, a sign of unity, a bond of charity, a Paschal banquet in which Christ is consumed, the mind is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given to us. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1323)
​
The Eucharist is one of the seven sacraments of the Church. It is the summit of the Church’s activity and the source of grace for Christian living. In the Eucharist, the Church is instructed by the Word of God and nourished at the altar of the Lord so that all are drawn into closer union with God and each other.
